As a perennial belonging to the Linaria genus and commonly referred to as the Wild Snapdragon, toadflax graces roadsides and neglected areas with its pale yellow and orange blossoms, adding a vibrant touch well into late autumn. The flower’s orange-yellow streak on the lip serves as a guide for bees, facilitating their pollination efforts. During the 17th century, people would place toadflax leaves under their bare feet and between their toes as a traditional method to ward off fever. Additionally, it was historically utilized as a source of yellow dye for cloth. Toadflax thrives in open grassy spaces, stony and waste grounds, hedge banks, road verges, railway embankments, and cultivated land. With its flowering season spanning from July to October, this late bloomer reaches its peak in autumn and may even produce flowers in November if the grass is given a late cut.
