Snapdragon Madame Butterfly Ivory
Antirrhinum majus / Snapdragon
Madame Butterfly Ivory is a premium double snapdragon for growers who need soft ivory line stems with a more romantic texture than standard snapdragons. It is best started as plugs, transplanted into cool-season beds, supported with netting, and harvested while the lower portion of the spike is opening. The crop is especially valuable for weddings, florists, and spring bouquets because ivory blends into almost every palette and the ruffled double florets look fuller and more luxurious than ordinary snapdragon flowers.

Design and market fit
Role
Line
Texture
Ruffled, double, plush, lightly frilled, and petal-rich. The double flowers give a fuller and softer look than standard snapdragon florets, with enough visual texture to act as both a line stem and a soft secondary focal in floral work.
Tone
Soft, warm, refined, romantic, neutral, and elegant. The color reads as ivory rather than stark white, making it especially useful beside blush, peach, champagne, butter yellow, soft blue, sage, lavender, burgundy, and mocha palettes.
Form
Tall upright spike with double azalea-like florets arranged along a vertical stem. The stem provides strong line and height, while the flower form is fuller and more romantic than classic closed-mouth snapdragon types.
Bouquet fit
Excellent for romantic, garden-style, cottage, wedding, spring, soft neutral, pastel, vintage, and florist-market bouquets. The ivory color is easy to blend, and the double ruffled blooms add softness without overwhelming the arrangement.
Event use
Very high for weddings, sympathy work, spring events, Mother’s Day palettes, elegant subscriptions, church flowers, neutral installations, and florist orders where a soft ivory line flower is needed. It is less suited to rough, hot outdoor sales without shade and hydration because premium snapdragon spikes must stay cool, upright, and clean.
