A highly original bedding plant, the Linaria is 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.
Sow February to April. Germinate at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Apply a fine sprinkling of compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 5-21 days. Do not exclude light at any stage, as this helps germination.
