Scarlet Flax (Linum grandiflorum rubrum.).Annual. Planted in a mass planting, these flowers make a stunning display. It prefers full to part sun and should have well drained soil. It is somewhat adaptable but should not be sown where it is too wet. Grows to about 2' and blooms mid to late season. Will reseed itself in some areas but rarely becomes invasive.
