Introducing an elegant sterile hybrid toadflax, a graceful fusion of L. dalmatica and L. purpurea. ‘Peachy’ has slender stems adorned with long flowering spikes in a delightful peachy-yellow hue. Its upright stature, complemented by grey-green, narrowly lance-shaped leaves, adds to its visual appeal. This toadflax thrives in sunny spots within dry to average soil soils, producing an array of small, two-lipped flowers in charming shades of yellow, orange, and pink throughout the summer season.
Plant in full sun and well-drained soil—it's tolerant of poor conditions and thrives in dry or gravelly sites. Water regularly until established, but avoid overwatering, especially in heavy soils. Avoid over-feeding, as this can lead to soft, leafy growth with fewer flowers.
Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering, but leave a few faded spikes to encourage self-seeding. Cut back hard in late autumn or early spring to maintain a tidy shape and promote fresh growth. Supports pollinators and is ideal for borders, wildlife gardens, and informal planting schemes.
