Dalmatian toadflax Linaria dalmatica

Description of Plant:
The roots are deep taproots and can extend rapidly and laterally from its base of the plant. The roots can grow until they are at least 1 meter into the soil. The stems can grow up to three feet in height. The leaves at the top of the plant have a broad base and can keep getting broader as you move down the stem. The flowers grow closer together at the top of the plant. They are said to look like a snapdragon flower, since they are in the same family as them. The seeds can stay in the ground for a very long, up to 10 years, before they sprout because it may take awhile for the seed coat to fall off. They can grow on a variety of different soils. We think that Dalmatian toadflax were introduced into the United States as an ornamental.
