Why Grow Antirrhinum Madame Butterfly Mix?
Distinctive azalea-shaped snapdragon flowers in a mixed colour blend.
Excellent for cottage-style beds, borders and seasonal container displays.
Good cut-flower potential for cheerful home-grown vase arrangements.
Upright plants add height and structure without taking over the garden.
Pairs beautifully with pansies, violas, petunias and other cool-season flowers.
Garden Uses
Use Madame Butterfly Mix in mixed borders, cottage-garden beds, large containers and picking gardens. The mixed colours work especially well where you want a softer, more informal snapdragon display rather than a single-colour block.
Growing Notes
Start in trays or small pots rather than direct sowing into the garden.
Keep the seedling mix moist but not soggy, and water gently while seed is germinating.
Harden off seedlings before transplanting into beds or containers.
Deadhead spent blooms to encourage a longer flowering season.
Protect young plants from hard frost and give light afternoon shade in very hot areas.
