Annual Toadflax

Looking like a miniature snapdragon, toadflax is a great choice to bring color to the garden early in the season when you're most starved for it. In areas with cool summers, annual toadflax blooms from spring to fall. In hotter areas, the blooms fade come hot weather. Shear them back by about half. If the weather isn't too hot, they may rebloom come fall.

It grows well in the ground, but also try it in containers, especially with pansies, bulbs, and other early-season stars.
