PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION
Native to Italy, this charming small flower looks remarkably like baby snapdragons. Toadflax is a superb early summer garden edger and container annual to sow in early spring. It blooms all season long in areas where summer nights cool to the high 50s or lower 60s. Shear lightly if bloom flags, or resow early to mid July for fall flowering. Beneficial insects, bees, and butterflies create a hive of activity around them, drawn to the abundant nectar-filled and pollen-rich flower spikes.
