Part afternoon shade helps plants continue to flower as hot summer weather begins. .Miniature snapdragon like flowers on compact, bushy plants. Linaria comes into bloom very quickly and over an extended period with a profusion of multi-coloured flowers.Cut back after initial flowering to encourage additional bloom. Like pansies, these plants begin to fade with the onset of hot and humid summer weather and are perhaps best removed at that time in favor of warm weather annuals. |
