Finely textured, fuzzy green elaves on tall stems are delightfully pretty in summer when toadflax bursts with bicolored flowers of violet-purple and yellow flowers. This cousin of the snapdragon is an annual native to Morocco in northwestern Africa where it pops up in light rocky soils and screes.

The light green leaves are sticky and needle-like. In summer the tips of the slender, erect stems bear loose clusters of two-lipped flowers that are usually blue-violet (sometimes pinkish or white)...

(Butter and Eggs)

Named for the butter-and-egg color scheme of its spurred flowers, this rampant perennial is native to Europe but naturalized over most of North America, where it is a common weed of waysides, vacant lots, and other disturbed sites. It is listed as a noxious weed in much of the western United States.

The erect leafy stems of this hardy perennial arise from a network of rapidly spreading underground rhizomes. The abundant, light green, narrowly lance-shaped leaves taper at the base. From late...

Native to southern Europe and North Africa, it has become naturalized across temperate regions worldwide, including much of the United States and Canada. Despite its widespread naturalization, it is not considered ecologically damaging or problematic. In the wild, it is most commonly found growing in arid grasslands and along roadsides with sandier soils.

This is a true annual...

(Blue Flax, Perennial Flax)

The tall, airy stems of blue flax produce loads of sky blue flowers for only a short time from early to midsummer, but when in flower they are lovely. Blue flax is a tough perennial native to Eurasia. It is clump-forming, somewhat short-lived, and naturally survives in sunny grasslands where soil is porous and well-drained. There are several natural subspecies, including the English ssp. anglicum and more compact, high-altitude ssp. alpinum.

(Perennial Flax, White Perennial Flax)

Blue flax is a tough perennial native to Eurasia. It is clump-forming or tufted and somewhat short-lived. The blue-green leaves are short, narrow, lance-shaped, sessile (without a stalk) and held on thin, wiry stems. The lower part of the stem is usually leafless. Blue flax is fire-resistant due to the fibrous, wiry stems. Linum perenne 'Album' produces white flowers in profusion in loose, branched groups above the foliage during the summer. Individual flowers are trumpet to cup-shaped and...
