1000 Madame Butterfly Bronze Snapdragon Seeds – Antirrhinum majus Double Blooms
$27.40
Madame Butterfly Bronze Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) is a striking garden annual prized for its tall spikes of double-petal blooms in warm bronze, peach, and apricot tones. These ruffled, rose-like flowers open gradually along sturdy stems, creating a long season of color in beds, borders, and cutting gardens. The plants add vertical interest and a cottage-garden charm, and the blooms are excellent for fresh bouquets or dried arrangements.
Easy to grow from seed, Madame Butterfly Bronze performs best in full sun with well-drained soil. The plants reach a mature height of 24 to 36 inches and benefit from consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Regular deadheading encourages continued flowering, while the sturdy stems make harvesting for arrangements simple and rewarding.

Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 65–70°F and keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
In the garden, choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, and apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season. Deadhead spent flowers to promote continued blooming. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas.
