Description
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. The Flax family has been used for years in the manufacture of linseed oil and fabric. This species, Linum perenne, is native to Europe, typically found in the Alps and England, however, 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, which is the species famous in Native American lore.)

Reviews
Beautiful flowers! I just wasn't patient enough
"Well, about 10 months ago I reviewed these and said that not even a single flower appeared. I just wasn't patient enough. This year my blue flax are abundantly growing and the look beautiful. I've always wanted some of these in my garden, and now they are growing like gangbusters!!"
Two seasons then self seeding
"Lovely blue. Nice soft greenery. Wonderful seeded with California Poppies."
Great germination in poor soil
"I created a space for a large wildflower and short grass ""prairie"" last fall and didn't amend the soil at all, just emptied it of all weeds, etc. I seeded these in just before the first snow fall. This spring they germinated everywhere and now we are treated to a sea of true blue flowers."
I would buy this product again
"Excellent germination and survival."
I will plant more!
"I love natural scapes and will plant even more this coming spring!"
I love this plant!
"I sowed a pound of seed by scattering handfuls across a hillside of raw, unimproved soil around our cabin in the mountains right after the cabin was built. The first season, I saw no flowers and I thought perhaps the squirrels had eaten all of the seeds. But the second season, oh my! Waves of gorgeous blue flowers that are breathtaking. They are at their best in the mornings. By dinner time, most of the petals have dropped. The next day the whole process repeats itself. Our cabin is right in the middle of arid Utah at an elevation of 7600 feet. We never irrigate and there are squirrels who must have eaten some of the seeds. But the flax has thrived! It self propagates so there are more plants every year."
Beautiful blue flax
"We used blue flax in meadow areas several years ago. It has bloomed and spread gently all these years. It's such a light, airy plant that its spreading is not invasive or unwelcome. It comes back year after year, even in areas that are not watered."
