Linaria 'Canon Went'

Linaria 'Canon Went' blooms throughout the summer with tall spikes of tiny, snapdragon-like flowers in the softest shade of baby pink. The narrow, gray-green foliage is very attractive. Like snapdragons, linaria flowers are pollinated by bumblebees.

Linaria 'Canon Went' makes a nice companion plant for roses. It self-sows lightly, and it blends with so many things that you will enjoy having it appear in different spots in the garden. It thrives in large containers.

Also known as Linaria 'Canon J. Went' and Pink Toadflax. It is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant.
