Notes
'Madame Butterfly Red' snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus 'Madame Butterfly Red') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer tend to pass it by. Its double petals set it apart from single snapdragons, and the blooms are fragrant.
Pairs well with Cornflower, Tuberose, and Jacob’s ladder.
