Description
Better known as Toadflax, this hardy perennial is a cottage garden favourite, constantly busy with butterflies. The upright flower spikes are packed with nectar rich blooms of the palest pink which continue from June right through to September. Linaria purpurea ‘Canon Went’ blends beautifully into herbaceous borders, but is equally at home in gravel gardens or wildlife areas. Toadflax is undemanding and easy to grow. The blooms also make delightful cut flowers for summer bouquets.
