What a delight this white Linaria purpurea ‘Alba’ is — airy, graceful, and charmingly easy to grow. All summer long, long slender spikes carry masses of pristine white, tiny snapdragon-like flowers above soft grayish-green foliage, bringing a light, elegant texture to sunny borders, cottage gardens, cutting gardens, and pollinator plantings.

Growing about 2' tall and 1' wide, ‘Alba’ Linaria is perfect for weaving through perennials, softening pathways, brightening dry garden beds, or adding a fresh white accent among bolder colors. Its upright stems create a lovely vertical rhythm without feeling heavy or formal, and the clean white blooms pair beautifully with lavender, yarrow, salvia, roses, grasses, and silver foliage.

Plant Linaria purpurea ‘Alba’ in full sun with well-drained soil. Once established, it is fairly drought tolerant and wonderfully low maintenance. Pretty, charming, and quietly floriferous, this white toadflax is an easy way to add summer-long sparkle and cottage garden softness.
