LinariaCommon name; Toadflax A hardy annual best planted in groups in the border, although they can be grown in containers if preferred. They grow from 200-400 (8"-16") high depending upon variety. The flowers, that resemble small antirrhinums, and come in a wide range of colours, appear from late June till the first frosts. Week 17; Sow seeds thinly in pots/trays of seed compost and germinate at 18°-20°C (64°-68°F). Germination should take around four or five days. Week 19; When the seedlings are large enough to handle, prick them out into cell trays or boxes of potting compost and place in a cold frame to harden off until planting out time. Week 21; Plant out 150mm (6") apart in well-drained garden soil, in a sunny position. Note; These plants are susceptible to root rot so if your soil is a bit on the heavy side incorporate plenty of grit into it to aid drainage.
