Know before you buy
Yes, the Madame Butterfly series is specifically bred for cut flowers. Their tall, 3-4 foot stems and strong, branching habit make them ideal for professional-looking arrangements.
Yes, these seeds need at least 12 hours of light per day to germinate successfully. Ensure they are sown in a location that receives ample light or use a grow light if starting indoors.
Because these plants grow to a significant height of 3-4 feet, space them about 12 inches apart. This allows for proper airflow, which helps prevent foliage diseases and supports their strong, columnar growth.
No, Madame Butterfly snapdragons are annuals. They will complete their entire life cycle in one growing season, so you will need to replant them each spring.
These plants require consistent moisture to perform their best. Aim for approximately 1 inch of water per week, ensuring the soil stays evenly damp but not waterlogged.
Yes, they are well-suited for direct sowing in the spring. Just be sure to provide them with a full sun location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
