Flax, Blue – Linum lewisii

$1.39

This hardy native annual will produce delicate flowers of vibrant blue and will over-winter in many areas, behaving as a short-lived perennial.  Native peoples have traditionally used fibers from the long, tough stems for ropes and fishing nets and the oily seeds for medicines.  This is a great wildflower species to attract birds which love the oily seeds.  Single flowers ranging from vibrant blue to light blue on tall, branching stalks with blue-green foliage.  These 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.
