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.
"Epically magical plant store! The turtles, the monstera, the euphorbia, the beauty! I also was able to snag a great deal on a hoya that I've wanted for a while. All in all, a great place to stop on our road trip 😸"
