You cannot get much easier, prettier, or more quietly generous than Linaria purpurea ‘Canon Went’. This lovely pink form of purple toadflax sends up slender, graceful spikes of small snapdragon-like flowers above fine, gray-green foliage, creating a soft, airy look that weaves beautifully through cottage gardens, perennial borders, pollinator plantings, and sunny dry garden beds.

Growing about 2' tall, ‘Canon Went’ blooms from early summer into September, bringing months of delicate rose-pink color without demanding much attention. Its upright stems add movement and vertical texture without feeling stiff, making it especially pretty planted among salvias, yarrow, roses, ornamental grasses, lavender, and other drought-tolerant perennials. Bees and other pollinators appreciate the long bloom season, while gardeners love how easily it settles in.

Plant Linaria purpurea ‘Canon Went’ in full sun with well-drained soil. Once established, it is fairly drought-tolerant and may reseed where happy, giving you more charming pink toadflax in future seasons. Explore more airy, easy growers in our Linaria collection.
