Product Details
Fairy Bouquet is a charming blend of bright colored, dainty, 3/4" flowers above delicate, airy foliage. Linaria makes an impressive, colorful show when planted in mass, and is also an excellent container filler or border flower that attracts pollinators. Also known as toadflax, and often called a mini-snapdragon because of the resemblance. Cut flowers make darling bouquets. A 1934 All-America Selections winner.

These were so easy to grow. I attempted to start from seed indoors and they just got too crazy too quick, so I tossed those and literally dumped seeds out in some soil in a patch in my flower garden. Watered them until they started to sprout. Forgot about them and this is what they look like now. I'm in a bit of higher elevation in Washington State. Our weather has been pretty odd this spring like highs of 60 to a high of 80 all in the same week off and on for a few weeks now. Super annoying for my more finicky plants but these were not phased at all. Will definitely buy more packets for next year!!

We're absolutely obsessed with your Fairy Bouquet Linaria success story! The fact that you literally just dumped the seeds in the soil and then forgot about them, only to come back to this gorgeous result, is exactly what we love to hear! These linaria are such tough little performers - it sounds like they handled all that crazy Washington weather like absolute champions while your other plants were struggling. Your "set it and forget it" approach clearly worked perfectly! We're so excited you're already planning to grab more packets for next year. Thanks for sharing your amazing Fairy Bouquet linaria success with us! Keep on growing 🌻️

This little plant is amazing. I sowed small pinches in 3" pots last spring indoors. Within a few days they were up and within a few weeks they were blooming. They bloomed for months with one haircut halfway through. We used them in planter boxes by an old farmhouse. Deer ate everything else, but not these. Dry times didn't faze them. They were as cute and pretty as could be. They're nice in small bouquets, too. Highly recommended.

Very pretty when planted in groups. They go out of bloom once it heats up, but then bloom again in late summer/early fall.
