Toadflax is a highly original bedding plant, low-growing and has attractive
grey-green foliage. This is flanked, through the summer months, by a myriad of
flowers in a wealth of bright and striking shades.
Resembling snapdragon (and sometimes called baby
snapdragon), toadflax is
easy to grow. It comes in red, gold, rose, pink, mauve, blue and purple and
grows 9 to 18 inches tall. This annual (grows just one year) does best in
cooler weather and can be used for winter color in the warmest parts of the
country. It has small lance shaped fleshy blue green leaves.
This flower is native to Morocco.
