Description

The listing, Moroccan Toad Flax-40 seeds**Last Time Listed** has ended.

***LAST TIME LISTED***
Don’t let the “toad” part of Moroccan toadflax put you off—these charming little annual flowers are also known as baby snapdragons, which gives you a good idea of their flower form and bright colors.
Moroccan toadflax sends up many slender flowering stems from a base of narrow, grasslike foliage. Stems are loaded with petite, pouchy-lipped flowers in a range of bright colors—yellow, pink, red, purple and white—often with a contrasting central spot. Like pansies and California poppies, Moroccan toadflax thrives in cool spring temperatures, then fades out when summer heat arrive
Auction is for 40 seeds. Annual mix-which re-seeds itself. 9-18" tall. Sun to Part shade.

Questions & Comments

When you say it re-seeds itself, what exactly does that mean? After they are done blooming will there be seeds lying around on the ground or in the dead flowers that you bring in and can use the following year? Sorry, I just never heard of annuals re-seeding. I was always told that annuals happen once a year and they were done and that perennials were the only kind of plant that came back each year.

Like perennials, self-sowing annuals come back every year, but from seeds instead of roots. But they're not as predictable as perennials. They seem to come up wherever they choose, sometimes in a distant part of the yard. Sometimes they come back in profusion, and sometimes not at all. If a perennial is like a faithful dog, then a self-sowing annual is like a finicky, independent cat. Maybe that's why I like them -- I'm a cat person. I like how my cat doesn't require too much attention, and I respect her independence.
But, as with all things in life, there are problems with independent cats -- I mean plants. It seems like they fall into one of two categories: (1) those that don't return reliably, especially in heavily mulched gardens, and (2) those that return in such force that they become a thinning nightmare. The unpredictability can drive a control freak insane!

That usually means they produce LOTS of seeds and if you don't harvest them they will fall to the ground and start growing more. If the seeds are able to live thru winter ( most can and will ) then next season they will grow again.

horticultmike, when you say harvest them, does that mean go out and pick the seeds up off the ground or the seeds in the dead flowers? Sorry, I am new at this and trying to learn as much as possible.
