Linaria 'Fairy Bouquet'

Linaria maroccana
A charming small flower that looks like baby snapdragons in a fruit salad mix of colors of yellow, rose, blue, violet, and more, most often sweet bicolors. A cheerful early summer edger, the seeds should be mixed with sand and sown thinly in earliest spring, for they revel in cool weather.

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 that is sown early spring. It blooms all season long in areas where summer nights cool to the high 50s, lower 60s. Shear lightly if bloom flags, or resow mid July for fall flowers. Beneficial insects, bees, and butterflies create a hive of activity around them, drawn to the abundant nectar and pollen-rich flower spikes.
