The name Madame Butterfly is as evocative as the flower itself. Inspired by the famed opera, this series is known for its graceful, open blooms that resemble delicate butterfly wings, fluttering above tall, elegant stems. Unlike traditional snapdragons, these flowers open wide and ruffled, giving them a soft, romantic presence that feels timeless and refined, a true nod to classic beauty, femininity, and drama in the garden.
 
Madame Butterfly Bronze Snapdragons bring a rich, old-world elegance to the garden with ruffled, azalea-like blooms in warm bronze and copper tones. Unlike traditional snapdragons, the Madame Butterfly series features open, butterfly-shaped flowers, giving arrangements a softer, more romantic look with exceptional texture.
 
Highly valued in cutting gardens, this variety produces tall, sturdy stems loaded with blooms that hold beautifully in the vase. Cool-season hardy and dependable, Madame Butterfly Bronze adds depth and sophistication to borders, bouquets, and cottage-style plantings.
