Many years ago I bought a packet of what I now think was toad flax.  It was three colours. Pink, purple and white.   I have found toad flax on World Plant Seeds and Chiltern seeds but the colours come in separate packets.   

Does any one know where I can get a mixed packet please.

Actually it is more or less a lovely weed.

Many thanks for the info.

The type I am looking for is at least three feet tall.   Linaria Purpurea.

I have been keeping something of a look out for it.  I have now seen deep purple which is the basic colour, but also pink, lilac and now to my big surprise yellow and yellow tinged with pink.

Yet to see a white and dark pink and more shades of purple.
