Madame Butterfly Ivory Snapdragon Seeds

40 seeds per packet

Madame Butterfly Ivory is a beautiful double-flowered snapdragon with soft ivory to creamy white blooms and a full, ruffled appearance.

The Madame Butterfly series is known for its distinctive double flowers, giving the stems a fuller, more textured look than traditional snapdragons. The ivory coloring is especially versatile, working beautifully in soft pastel palettes, neutral arrangements, wedding work, and mixed cut-flower gardens.

Plants produce tall flowering stems that are excellent for cutting and bring a soft, elegant look to the garden.

Growing Instructions

Seed Starting:
Snapdragon seeds are very small and need light to germinate. Sow seeds on the surface of a moist, fine-textured seed-starting mix and gently press them into place. Do not bury them deeply.

Germination:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in about 7–14 days. Cooler growing temperatures generally produce stronger seedlings.

Transplanting:
Once seedlings have developed several true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them into larger cells or pots if needed. Harden plants off before planting outdoors.

When to Plant:
Snapdragons prefer cooler weather and can be planted in fall in mild climates or started in late winter for spring production. They generally perform best before intense summer heat arrives.

Sun:
Plant in full sun for the strongest growth and best flowering.

Soil:
Grow in fertile, well-draining soil. Avoid areas that stay overly wet.

Spacing:
For cut-flower production, space plants approximately 4–6 inches apart. Wider spacing can be used for larger individual plants.

Watering:
Water consistently during establishment and active growth. Water near the base of the plant when possible and avoid keeping foliage constantly wet.

Support:
Tall snapdragon stems may benefit from flower netting or another support system to help keep stems upright and straight.

Harvest:
For cut flowers, harvest when the lower florets have begun to open while the upper portion of the flower spike is still developing.

Madame Butterfly Ivory is a beautiful choice for growers looking for soft color, full double blooms, and elegant cut-flower stems.
