(Common Name: Toadflax) The common toadflax (Linaria vulgaris) is a familiar sight along Britain's roadsides in summer with its small yellow snapdragon flowers. Garden Linaria have similarly shaped flowers that vary from tiny to 4cm long. The plants are variously low and creeping to tall and spire-like. All are fairly short-lived (average 2-3 years) but readily replace themselves by self-seeding. All like sun or light shade, prefer dry soils and are able to withstand periods of drought. They all flower from June onwards, often well into autumn.

Linaria
 Linaria
purpurea Canon J Went
Lovely pale pink version of the more common purple species. Reaches up to 4ft / 120cm in good soil, more like 80-90cm in arid conditions. Remains upright and doesn't require staking. Self seeds, but not to excess, and will come true if other purpurea varieties are not grown nearby.

 Linaria
triornithophora
The specific name mean "bearing three birds" referring to the shape of the buds held in groups (usually of four!) along the semi upright stems. Flowers all summer and hardy with us over a number of years. Flower colour is normally deep pink but occasionally paler.
