Description

Botanical Interests' Flax 'Blue and Breezy' Seeds (Linum perenne) yield beautiful 1″ sky-blue flowers on graceful, arching stems. This perennial is a hardy addition to any garden, thriving in USDA zones 5–8, and is known for its resilience in the face of summer heat, humidity, drought, and poor soil. The flowers open at dawn, and each bloom lasts only a day, replaced the next morning for continuous color throughout the season. A wonderful choice for wildflower gardens, it attracts pollinators and wild birds while also serving as effective erosion control when planted in groups or combined with other species.
