Perennial flax is a hardy tufted plant with narrow spirally arranged leaves. The flowers are a nice true blue and grow atop the mound on tough wiry stems. Each flower blooms for just a day, but it continues for nearly 8 weeks in early summer and sporadically until frost. Though considered a short lived plant, they seem to persist for several years. It can also reseeds for us without becoming too weedy, at least in our climate. Annual flax has a long history of human use. It is still grown to make linen cloth and linseed oil.
Not available for mail order this spring but available for fall 2026.
Sold in 4” pots.
