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.
