Featured plant: blue flax

Blue flax (Linum lewisii). Short lived Perennial. Zone 3-9. This native plant grows between 12-18" ' and does best in well drained soil with no sogginess. It tolerates drought but does best with water when dry. It prefers full sun and will tolerate poor soil. Will freely self seed and if you do not want rampant spread, dead head the spent flowers. I sowed seeds in groups of a dozen plants and it made a very attractive clump. It just keeps on flowering and flowering. One of the most satisfying plants I have. Pale blue and oh so floriforous.
