Snapdragon Madame Butterfly

Snapdragon Madame Butterfly offers a striking combination of elegance and structure, perfect for gardeners who love bold, romantic displays. Its tall, upright stems carry frilly, double blooms in soft pinks, creamy whites, sunny yellows, and deep reds—each one looking like a miniature azalea. These blossoms bring texture and richness to any planting, especially in borders or massed in generous drifts. Unlike the classic snapdragons, this variety blooms with open, butterfly-like flowers that move gracefully in the breeze, creating a sense of motion and life in your garden. The plants are sturdy, with strong stems that hold their shape well and resist flopping.

From early summer through to autumn, Snapdragon Madame Butterfly keeps blooming, especially when deadheaded regularly. It’s not just about looks either—these flowers are a favourite with bees and butterflies, encouraging pollinator activity and adding even more liveliness to the space. Whether you’re going for soft romance or vibrant colour layering, this snapdragon provides lasting impact. It also pairs beautifully with silvery foliage and ornamental grasses for a balanced, textured look.

Usage
Use Madame Butterfly to elevate garden beds, fill sunny borders, or create lush cut flower arrangements. Its tall form and layered colours add structure and softness, making it perfect for floral styling, pollinator-friendly corners, or vibrant seasonal planting schemes in containers or open ground.
