| Introducing a whole new look for the beloved old Purple-Net Toadflax, Flaming Passion regales you with over-the-top colors and super-easy care! This dry-soil lover blooms heavily in late spring and early summer, filling the sunny garden with color so hot it catches the eye from across the street! If you haven't grown Linaria yet, give Flaming Passion a whirl this season. You'll be amazed at how beautifully it transforms those difficult garden spots into oases of brilliant color! Often compared to Snapdragons, the blooms on these sturdy, upright stems are a bit smaller (just ½-inch wide) but so much showier! The petals are fire-engine-red and the center is blazing yellow -- an entirely new combination of colors for this Linaria, which is usually just plain old purple! Each stem reaches 12 to 16 inches high, so you can imagine the impact of a large planting in the sunny garden! The flowers begin in late spring and continue into summer, and the plants are quite compact compared to other Linaria --just 6 to 8 inches wide and boasting dense blue-green foliage right down to the ground. Wonderful for dry or poor soil, Flaming Passion will reseed itself freely, so you might want to begin with a generous planting in an open area and watch it return for many years! So easy to grow -- just direct-sow it in early spring and wait for the red-hot color to summons you! Pkt is 100 seeds. |
