Linaria
vulgaris ~ Butter and Eggs, Yellow Toadflax |
| Linaria vulgaris is almost
too pretty to call a weed but the Yellow Toadflax has become a pest in too
many places to avoid that label. The Butter and Eggs or Common
Toadflax is hardy and easy to grow and a bit prone to growing beyond its
intended garden setting. Linaria vulgaris spreads at a moderate
pace, even in poor soils with little or no additional water. The
creamy yellow flowers bloom from Spring through hard frost. Linaria
vulgaris is easily propagated by division and often recovers from being
dug up. I mow Linaria vulgaris to ground level during the
Winter. The Yellow Toadflax has naturalized in every state or
province in North America.
