Snapdragon Madame Butterfly Ivory F1 | Group 2,3 | Antirrhinum majus

‘Madame Butterfly Ivory’ F1 is a premium butterfly-type snapdragon bred for elegance and performance.

Its signature feature is the fully double, ruffled ivory blooms that open along tall, structured stems. Unlike standard snapdragons, this series offers a more textured, almost orchid-like flower form, making it highly desirable for florists.

Being a Group 2–3 variety, it provides a reliable mid-to-late season flowering window, extending harvest time and bouquet availability in professional production systems.

The ivory coloration is clean, soft, and extremely versatile — ideal for wedding work, luxury bouquets, and minimalist floral compositions.
