Plant description

This half-hardy herbaceous perennial, typically grown as an annual, features green lance-shaped leaves and soft pink double flowers from summer to autumn. Ideal as cut flowers or for decorative purposes, these blooms are less attractive to pollinators. They thrive in rich soil with ample water until established, preferring sunny spots but tolerating dappled shade. With its romantic, ruffled appearance, 'Madame Butterfly Pink' adds an elegant, Victorian charm to any garden.

How to care for Antirrhinum majus Madame Butterfly Pink:

Pot up seedlings and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill pots on the patio. Water your bedding plants early in the morning with a weak solution of a potash-rich fertiliser, such as Tomorite. Deadhead the flowers on a regular basis as this will encourage new growth and stop the plants putting all their energy into seed production.

Sowing instructions:

Fill trays with good quality compost and lightly cover the seeds. Water, and place in a cold frame or greenhouse. Pot on when they have put on their first true leaves and then harden off before planting out at 20-30cm intervals, after the frosts have passed. Seeds sown in autumn and overwintered in a cold frame, will produce bigger plants which will flower earlier in the year, than those sown in spring.
