Toadflax, Linaria purpurea, is native to southern Italy but has naturalised in other parts of Europe. An erect perennial with stiff stems and pale green leaves, it bears tall dense flower spikes of dainty pale purple flowers, each with two lips and spurs, rather like snapdragons. It's extremely attractive to bees and butterflies, and makes a beautiful cut flower.

Linaria 'Peachy' is a sterile hybrid toadflax, crossed between yellow Linaria dalmatica and purple Linarea purpurea. It bears long flowering spikes of peachy-yellow blooms on tall stems.

Grow Linaria 'Peachy' in very well-drained soil in an herbaceous border or gravel garden, where it will quickly naturalise. For best results grow in well-drained soil in full sun.
