HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall or early spring, just below the surface of the soil. To start indoors, sow the seed 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring; keep the soil evenly moist until germination. Transplant the seedlings as soon as they can safely be handled.
Growing: Water seedlings and control weeds until they become established; mature plants also flourish with occasional watering. The blooming of these plants decreases with the heat of summer; cut back the foliage after blooming has ended, unless seeds are being harvested. This plant self-sows in good conditions. It als makes an excellent container or border plant, and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
Harvesting: These blooms make excellent cut flowers. Choose stalks with flowers that have just opened and place them in water immediately; strip the foliage that will fall below the surface of the water.
Seed Saving: After blooming, this plant will produce seed heads that eventually release their seeds. Watch the heads carefully and gather the seed as soon as it has ripened. Store in a cool, dry place.

Very good quality
These are very good quality seeds - and they stay very fresh in their foil packets. Amount in each packet is generous - would definitely recommend.
Beautiful!
I scattered these delicate linaria all over my large back yard last March and April, concentrating quite a few in my 'wild flower' area. They are easy to grow, prolific, last quite a while, and so pretty with any other plants in the garden, especially as a front border. The seeds have re-sprouted early (December) this year, so I will scatter more seeds later this spring. I am in Zone 10, southern California. The sprouts are hard to thin, so it's best to go easy when you scatter seeds.
