Linaria maroccana 'Fairy Bouquet' · also called Fairy Bouquet Toadflax, Moroccan Toadflax Mix · flowering

'Fairy Bouquet' is a dwarf, easy hardy annual toadflax producing a delicate mix of miniature snapdragon-like flowers in pastel and jewel tones on slender stems. A cool-season grower, it is quick from seed, thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is ideal for edging, cottage borders and containers. It contains a toxic glucoside, so keep pets from grazing it.

Mature size: 20-30 cm tall and 10-15 cm wide

Watch for — Leggy or floppy stems: From too little light or over-rich soil. Grow in full sun and avoid heavy feeding; pinch young plants to encourage branching.
