Snapdragon 'Madame Butterfly'

Snapdragons are beloved annuals in the UK, cherished for their vibrant spires of flowers that resemble a dragon's mouth, hence the name. They are half-hardy in most parts of the UK, often grown as annuals from seed sown under glass in early spring. These versatile plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, producing an abundance of blooms from early summer right through to the first frosts of autumn. They are excellent for adding vertical interest to borders and cottage gardens, and their long-lasting flowers make them superb cut flowers. Available in a vast array of colours from pastel shades to fiery reds and yellows, and in various heights, they can suit any garden design.
