AKA - toadflax. I have about a zillion of these sprouted, but really don't know much about the plant. Can they be used around roses? Can they go in containers?
How do other people use them?
Cheers,

Linaria????
Kassia was told by a lady who sells rose's that they are a great companion to plant at the base of the rose's. I have mine planted at the feet of my clematis and oriental lilies. I'm thinking I'm going to plant them at the base of my rose's too!
Good! 'cause I have zillions!
Are those the seeds I sent? Mine took off like wildfire too!! I already have blooms!!
Yes - the same seeds. I winter-sowed them. Now I must plant them HOS style - there are too many, too close together to pot them up - there must be 300 or more little plants!
I have never seen these before - they look like little snapdragons. (Got lots of those started too.)
They are like a mini snapdragon with a variety of colors too!
Excellent. well, I certainly have plenty. thanks for the seeds. Can I collect seeds from these?
I think so..the lady who gave them to me did, but she said you have to watch for them as the birds will eat them right up!
I will defintly plant the seeds outside sunday.... mulch will be delivered thursday and the landscape crew should bring the big stone for the front (that the landscaper gave it to me as a "peace offering gift" since I was about to call him names #@$%^^&).
I got the aged special black forest mulch (which the guy guarantees that is well aged compost mulch! got it for a good price since I got 3 yards!) so after thursday my garden should look decent.... oh well, I still have tons of work to do... Michaela saw the white elephant I gave myself!!!!
Hey! I told you in three years you are going to look like a genius! This year you will look like an enthusiastic amateur. You will think you are in heaven, surrounded by all those fragrant roses!
they're so pretty. I think I'll put them in the cottage garden.
I think that would be lovely gram. I like the fact that it gives so many different colors in one bunch! So far I have seen lilac, almost white w/a hint of lavender, hot pink w/white center and magenta-pink with a yellow center!
Are they perennial? How can yours have flowers already if they are annuals?
I planted them inside a while ago....they started blooming last week.
Ah . . . so they have a headstart. Once classes are over this week, i will attempt to pot up some of the hundreds I have (who know so many would germinate! sure sign of a rookie!)
I will share the others with my neighbours.
thanks for the seeds Pixie. I will be saving every seed I can this year so I can return the favour.

next time I may start mine inside. I w/s'd mine, too.
