Instead this little Dwarf Perennial Toadflax flaunts the most sumptuous of colours and arresting combinations.
So it creates a carpet of rich colour, rather like a medieval tapestry or a Persian carpet.

Vivid little Linaria aeruginea ‘Neon Lights’ bears pikes of blooms, shaped like enchanting little Snapdragons.
Besides they just keep coming and coming, all summer and autumn.
And those brilliant rich jewel colours show off so effectively against the fine, blue-grey foliage.

Dwarf Perennial Toadflax is perfect for water-wise gardeners 

Even better for Australian gardeners, where water may be limited and the heat plentiful, this is a tough little groundcover that hails from Spain and Portugal.
So it is well adapted to hot, dry summers and a minimum of water.
Plus it is soundly frost hardy.
And it thrives in sandy, rocky or gravel soil, where it relishes the good drainage.

‘Neon Lights’ just blooms & blooms

Linaria aeruginea ‘Neon Lights’ makes a brilliantly long blooming groundcover or a decorative pot.
It basks in a hot spot.
And is equally at home in a hanging basket.

If you are lucky it may even gently self-seed in the garden to give you an even greater range of those exotic colour combinations to share with friends.
Or if you cant bear to part with the babies, you can keep them all to yourself and make an even bigger Persian carpet in your garden.

So flowers 20cm. High x 30cm. Wide groundcover foliage.
