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.
In each collection you will receive one packet (500 seeds) of each of the following:
Linaria maroccana ‘Licilia Violet’: A violet-purple hardy annual. Grows to 45cm
Linaria maroccana 'Licilia Red': A deep-red hardy annual. Grows to 45cm.
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 intervals, taking care not to damage their roots. Leave a few of the faded flower spikes on the plants as this will encourage them to self-seed.
