One of our favorites, Blue Flax, brings a graceful, natural charm to the garden. Its sky-blue, star-shaped flowers bloom each morning from spring into summer. This European native thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, forming clumps of airy foliage with delicate blooms that gently sway in the breeze. Easy to grow from seed, Blue Flax returns to meadows, borders, and pollinator gardens year after year.
