Licilia Peach offers a compact growth habit that defies the sprawling tendency of many Linaria varieties, staying tightly columnar at just 8 inches wide. The peachy flower color and extended bloom window from spring into late summer create continuous garden interest with minimal fussing. Its frost tolerance sets it apart from tender annuals, allowing gardeners in zones 9-11 to enjoy flowers well into shoulder seasons, and the quick 42-56 day timeline from seed to bloom means you can sow successively for waves of color throughout the growing year.
Licilia Peach Linaria is grown as an ornamental flowering annual, valued for its delicate spikes of peachy blooms in container gardens, flower borders, and pollinator plantings. The flowers attract beneficial insects and provide long-season color in Mediterranean and cottage garden settings.
Direct sow Licilia Peach Linaria 3-4 weeks before your last spring frost for spring blooms, or resow in mid-July for fall flowers in warm-winter areas. In zones 8-10, sow in fall to winter for earlier spring flowering. Place seeds on the soil surface or just barely cover them; they need light to germinate well. Seeds will sprout in 10-14 days at soil temperatures between 50-70°F.
