Tips to Grow Yellow toadflax

  1. Arrange good-quality Yellow toadflax seed.
  2. The soil should be well-drained, sandy, loamy, clay soil.
  3. Once sown lightly cover the seeds. Toadflax likes to grow in sunny areas; the soil type is not important.
  4. If starting the plants off indoors then you will first need to imbibe the Linaria seeds by placing the seeds in a black plastic bag, then placing them in the fridge for three weeks.
  5. Seeds should then be sown out in the light; they normally take about 10 to 14 days to germinate.
  6. Linaria is a relatively easy plant to look after; water regularly in dry periods; thin perennials; cut back annuals for a second bloom.
  7. If you require more perennial Linaria then divide in the spring or take cuttings at the start of summer.
