This perennial Flax species was selected for outstanding vigor, beauty, and competitiveness with grasses prevalent on sites where it was collected. Blue Flax is a hardy, relatively short-lived, naturalized perennial, 12 to 36 inches tall, with deep blue flowers that bloom profusely for about six weeks beginning in mid-May. It is well adapted to sunny open slopes, well-drained soils from moderately basic to weakly acidic, 10 to 18-inch rainfall areas, at 1,000 to 6,000 feet elevation. This is a great wildflower species to attract birds, which love the oily seeds. Single flowers range from vibrant blue to light blue on tall, branching stalks with blue-green foliage. Blue Flax seeds will germinate in about two weeks in a sunny to partially sunny location. The plants may re-seed themselves annually. Planting in the late fall to winter will allow the seeds to overcome the natural dormancy for quicker germination in the spring.
