Common toadflax (Linaria vulgaris) is a perennial flowering plant with a spreading root that is very hard to eradicate.
This plant is a temperate species that thrives in a wide range of conditions and can occur up to nearly 3,000 m elevation but is less successful on acid soils.

Its flowers attract long nose pollinators like bumblebees and butterflies.

The whole plant is mildly toxic and was used as a yellow dye by Germans for centuries.

Common toadflax is also known as yellow toadflax, butter-and-eggs, wild snapdragon, ranstead, flaxweed, jacob's ladder and spurred snapdragon.
