Blue Flax Seeds

Blue Flax (Linum perenne) is easy to grow, bee friendly, and will spread over time. It can tolerate both full sun and part sun, and it is a great choice for dry areas and poor soil. Blue Flax spreads and naturalizes easily in dry soils and most sunny meadows, making it an excellent option for hillsides that you’d like to see covered in wildflowers. Though Linum perenne is native to Europe, typically found in the Alps and England, it has spread widely in North America. (Note: it is not the same species as Linum lewisii, the Blue Flax species native to the American West.) For planting information, see our guide: How To Grow Flax
