Italian ‘bella’ with fruity hued flower spikes
A romantic and unusual Italian beauty, Linaria x purpurea ‘Peachy’ is more attractive to bees than the common Linaria purpurea as the flowers are larger and more readily accessible. From June to September many tall stems hold a profusion of multi-toned, snapdragon-like, peach-lemon trumpets.
