Notes
Canada toadflax (Linaria canadensis) is an annual for wildflower meadows and naturalized areas. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun and moist, sandy or loamy soil. Blue-violet flowers open along a slender, erect stem. Each bloom has a slender spur that curves down and back. It blooms in spring, summer, and early autumn.
Pairs well with Purple lovegrass, Maximilian sunflower, and Profusion Double Deep Salmon zinnia.
