Flax

Flax is a low-maintenance plant that adds lightness and natural movement to any drought-tolerant flower bed. Whether you choose perennial species for sunny spots or annuals, they will reward you with a sea of delicate flowers. It thrives best in full sun in well-draining, slightly sandy soil. In addition to its fragile flowers, you'll enjoy it even after it has finished blooming. The plants form round seed pods, which are excellent material for dried arrangements and wreaths once dried. You just need to harvest them when they are well-matured and the stem beneath them has firmed up. They dry easily by hanging them upside down in a dry, ventilated place. You can easily grow annual species from seeds. If you are just starting out with gardening, our guide on direct sowing or general tips on how to sow will come in handy.
