- Tall stems make this variety useful for fresh-cut arrangements.

Garden Uses
Use Potomac Pink in a full-sun border or dedicated cutting patch where its upright stems can add height outdoors and provide flowers for vases.
Growing Notes
- Start under protection where needed, then establish in sun as frost risk passes and days lengthen. Plan flowering for warm nights above about 16°C.
- Match sowing to the seed form: give loose seed only a light dusting; place pellets on the surface, wet thoroughly and keep evenly moist. Follow supplied seed-treatment warnings.
- Space plants 15–20 cm apart in a home border and support tall stems with netting or discreet stakes.
