| Common name : Purple Toad-flax |

|
| |
| Toad-flax is an old-fashioned type of perennial, usually short-lived but self seeding in any sunny, well-drained situation. This selection forms a bushy, upright plant with clear pink flowers, like small snapdragons. Stems are good for cutting. In cooler regions these bloom for weeks on end. Remove faded flowers to encourage more buds. Unlike the weedy Yellow Toadflax, this species is not a troublesome plant that will take over and escape garden cultivation. Seedlings that appear may be easily moved while they are still small. Drought tolerant once established.
