Description
Bring the deep blue sky down into your garden with Spanish Blue Flax (Linum narbonense). Native to the foothills and mountains of northern Spain, this wildflower gem is most at home along paths, among rocks and other areas with poor soil. Encourage the plant to re-seed itself and it will gently spread itself into your landscape. Linum narbonense is reported to be a longer-lived perennial than common Linum perenne. 15-18" x 15-18" wide.
