PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION
Snapdragon Madame Butterfly™ 'Bronze White's blooms tower over its glossy dark green foliage and add a handsome vertical statement to summer gardens.

Pinch when setting out to promote bushy growth and stake early with twiggy brush or crossed bamboo stakes in windy gardens to support the flower-filled stems. After the first flush of bloom, deadhead, removing the spikes with developing seeds down to vegetative branching, or shear the plants to 8",and fertilize the trimmed plants for renewed flowering until late fall.
