Why Grow Flowering Flax?

Delicate blue blooms: Simple, five-petaled flowers add soft color without overwhelming neighboring plants.
Airy garden texture: Slender stems and narrow leaves bring a graceful contrast to larger flowers and broader foliage.
Naturalistic style: Flax fits beautifully into informal beds, cottage gardens and meadow-inspired displays.
Seasonal planning: Review the product's mature height, planting season and days to flowering when planning its place in your garden.

Tips for Growing Flowering Flax

Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil and follow the seed packet's instructions for sowing depth, planting time and spacing. Direct sowing can help avoid disturbing young roots. Prepare the seedbed by removing competing weeds.

Keep the seedbed appropriately moist during germination and water young plants as needed while they establish. Avoid waterlogged soil and excessive fertilizing, which can encourage weak, overly leafy growth.

Individual flax flowers are short-lived, with new blooms opening as the flowering season progresses. Allow some seed capsules to mature if you want to encourage self-sowing, or remove them to help manage new seedlings. This collection is intended for ornamental flower growing; do not assume planting seed is suitable for food use.
