Flax

Perennial flax is a beautiful, delicate addition to any drought-tolerant flower bed, bringing lightness and movement to the garden. It naturally grows on sunny and warm grassy slopes, so even at your home, it will most appreciate full sun and well-drained, rather sandy soil. We send customers an already grown seedling in a pot, which simply needs to be transplanted straight into the flower bed. As a short-lived perennial, it can reliably maintain itself in the right spot. It requires almost no care, perfectly handles harsh frosts falling below minus thirty degrees, and all diseases and pests steer clear of it. In the garden, it will look excellent in a rockery, in a gravel bed, or next to drought-tolerant herbs. From June to August, the basic species will delight you with a flood of sky-blue flowers that attract bees and other pollinators. Its fine green stems and leaves, which respond sensitively to the slightest tremor of the wind, also have ornamental value. You can confidently use the sturdy stems, thirty to fifty centimeters long, for cutting into summer bouquets or dry them for later floral crafting.
