Botanical Interests Heirloom Flax (Scarlet)

Scarlet flax is a show-off in the garden. Each brilliant red flower lasts just a day, but in profusion, they set the garden ablaze with intense color. Easy-to-grow, low-maintenance plants attract pollinators and tolerate hot and dry conditions. Allow plants to go to seed, and you'll be rewarded with months and years of color. This is an ornamental flax and not intended for consumption.

  • When to Start Inside: 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost; not recommended because can be difficult to transplant. Handle carefully, or sow in pulp pots that can be planted directly into the ground.

"Beautiful plants, gift selection."

- Cindy Nave, May 2024

"They are all AMAZEBALLS! LOVE THIS PLACE!"

- John Fimple, May 2024

"One of my favorite places to get plants! The people there are always friendly and helpful. They are pet friendly, so I always bring my dog. She can be a bit much to handle in public, so I don’t take her out often. BUT whenever I go to Bath the people there always help me out with her! Every time I go to Bath I leave happier and with a new plant!"

- Gaia Bachar, April 2024

"Lots of selections and great customer service."

- Matthew Maguire, May 2025
