Notes
'Madame Butterfly Rose' snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus 'Madame Butterfly Rose') is an annual for borders, containers, and cut flowers. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. The double petals make it a unique type, and the blooms are fragrant. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Cornflower, Johnny jump up, and Jacob’s ladder.
