Linaria maroccana 'Licilia collection'
Moroccan toadflax / annual toadflax
The superb, snapdragon-like 'Licilia collection' from the Licilia Series hits the spot as versatile bedding or container plants to enchant and energise your summer displays. As cut flowers, their lovely long stems are a dream to work with. Quick to establish and reach their flowering potential, these delicate wine-red and mid-purple beauties have very simple and elegant forms and are highly attractive to pollinating insects.
How to care for Linaria maroccana Licilia collection:
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.
