    I purchased seeds of Linaria triornithophora 'Pink Budgies' early last year (2022) started them inside and planted good size plants early Summer. While they turned out to be all purple and not pink, they easily survived last winter here (Zone 4b) and since Spring I have been battling an aggressive invasion of this plant everywhere! Do I have some other linaria variety or perhaps the Zone recommendations here should be changed to include Zone 4 or less.
