Madame Butterfly snapdragon flower heads are packed with frilly, double blooms. These antirrhinums are best suited for growing early to mid season; they are the perfect choice for spring or autumn production, though they will also perform well through the summer months in cooler climates. Plants of the Madame Butterfly series are slightly shorter than other varieties of snapdragon, although stems will be longer if grown under cover in a glasshouse or tunnel. 

Sow Feb-Apr or Aug-Sept to overwinter for flowers the following year. Sowing temp 21-24°C. Do not cover as light aids germination which takes 7-21 days in optimum conditions. Seed to transplant may take 8-12 weeks depending on growing conditions. Can be pinched, or plant at a closer spacing for single stem blooms. Grow outside or under cover; plants require full sun and moisture retentive, well-drained soil.

Cut when 30-50% of the blooms on the spike have opened. Place immediately into water in a cool position. Make sure that stems remain upright otherwise they will bend towards the light.

Vase life: 7-10 days
