Linaria ‘Northern Lights Mix’
Linaria maroccana
Description
Linaria, also known as toadflax, is a delicate, airy plant with flowers that look just like baby snapdragons! They remind us of fairy flowers and look super sweet threaded into a bouquet. Plants have fern-like foliage and produce 10 to 12 long, wispy stems smothered in miniature blooms in a range of smoky peach, fuchsia, candy-pink, dusty rose, lavender, grape purple, and white in varying levels of color intensity, all with yellow throats. They’re great to scatter in with wildflower mixes, and dance in the breeze. Bees love them, too.
Details
Height: 18 to 24 in
Site: suitable for some degree of shade
Days to maturity: 50 to 60 days
Plant spacing: 9 in
Pinch: not necessary
Seed Sowing & Growing Notes
