Linaria maroccana 'Sweeties' is a jumble of brilliant, pretty colours, with mini snapdragon flowers – a recently found top favourite. An almost instant nectar bar for pollinators.
The toadflaxes are a new discovery for me. They flower for months at a stretch and look wonderful in the garden and cut in a small glass or jug.

Linaria maroccana 'Sweeties' reviews
Mrs
Reviewed 20th July 2015 by Anita Swart I am South African and immigrated to the UK ten years ago, and if it was not for gardening I don't know if I would be here.... difficult, but gardening is international. The good lord sowed a Lanaria in the garden and I let the lovely purple one meter tall plant grow and have been keeping the bumble bees very busy. I then wanted to find out more and to my great surprise I saw these little "Sweeties" on the good old web. This took me back about fifty years when as a child I always used to pick little bunches in my mother's garden. |
