From June to September, new flowers continue to appear and attract many butterflies and bees. This delicate perennial fits beautifully into prairie borders, natural gardens, and sunny planting areas where it blends harmoniously with other perennials.

Watering and Care

Linaria purpurea performs best in a well-prepared garden soil with balanced moisture levels.
