Linaria maroccana 'Fairy Bouquet Group'
Moroccan toadflax / annual toadflax
Dainty spikes of snapdragon-like flowers proliferate in a plethora of bold and pastel colours from June to September. ‘Fairy Bouquet Group’ blooms 20-30cm (8-10in) high and planted en-masse, is a fabulous sight. Excellent for cutting, these annual toadflax are very easy to sow and grow.
How to care for Linaria maroccana Fairy Bouquet Group:
Plant in full sun and well-drained soil—it's tolerant of poor conditions and thrives in dry or gravelly sites. Water regularly until established, but avoid overwatering, especially in heavy soils. Avoid over-feeding, as this can lead to soft, leafy growth with fewer flowers.
Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering, but leave a few faded spikes to encourage self-seeding. Cut back hard in late autumn or early spring to maintain a tidy shape and promote fresh growth. Supports pollinators and is ideal for borders, wildlife gardens, and informal planting schemes.

Sowing instructions:
Sow seeds shallowly in pots filled with a good seed compost in early spring and keep in a cold frame until they germinate. Pot on when they are large enough to handle and gradually harden off before planting them out at 30cm (12in) intervals, taking care not to damage their roots.
