Linaria vulgaris / Common Toadflax / British Wildflower / Seeds

Common Toadflax is a British wildflower commonly seen growing in grassland and along verges.  It has an upright form with showy yellow and orange-flecked flowers from June to October.  Plants grow to a height of about 75cm and the flowers are attractive to bees.  They are well suited to informal gardens and wilder areas.  These are good cut flowers. 


Plants grow best in sun to part shade and well-drained soil. 

 

Pack of approx 1,000 seeds.  Sow the seeds outdoors directly into the ground in autumn or spring.  Germination is erratic and happens over 2-3 months.  Sowing instructions and a colour photo are printed on the packet. 

Grown in Cornwall.
