Madame Butterfly™ Red Antirrhinum

Madame Butterfly™ Red is an F1 Antirrhinum majus snapdragon with upright spikes of ruffled, double azalea-type flowers in red. Syngenta identifies this exact color variety as product 70041200 and lists the series for late-spring and summer bloom. ## Flowers and placement The red flowers provide a saturated accent in borders and are suited to cutting for indoor arrangements. Syngenta gives a typical garden size of 24–30 inches tall by 14–16 inches wide and describes the series as producing full, graceful spikes. ## Growing conditions Choose full sun or partial shade and moist, rich, well-drained soil. NC State Extension notes that snapdragons are short-lived tender perennials commonly grown as annuals. The species is useful in borders and cut-flower gardens, and its flowers are bee-pollinated. ## Maintenance Water during establishment and dry periods, keeping soil moist but well drained. Avoid overhead watering to reduce wet foliage. Tall plants may need staking, and regular checks for rust and other fungal disease are useful in humid weather.
