100 Perennial Blue Flax Seeds - Heirloom Non-GMO Wildflower for Pollinators
Perennial Blue Flax (Linum perenne) is a graceful wildflower prized for its delicate, sky-blue blooms that open each morning and dance on slender, wiry stems. This heirloom, non-GMO variety returns year after year, forming loose clumps of narrow, blue-green foliage that bring a soft, natural texture to borders, meadow plantings, and cottage gardens. The airy flowers create a lovely, informal look and are a favorite of bees and other pollinators.
Easy to grow from seed, Blue Flax is an excellent choice for wildflower meadows, pollinator gardens, rock gardens, and naturalized areas. Its long bloom season and low-maintenance nature make it a rewarding perennial for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

Planting & Care
Sow Blue Flax seeds directly in the garden in early spring or fall, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not bury deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 14-21 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing once they are a few inches tall.
Once established, Blue Flax requires little care. Water during extended dry periods, especially in the first season. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or allow some flowers to go to seed for natural reseeding. In colder zones, a light mulch in winter can help protect the crowns.
