Description

The Blue Flax has adapted well in most regions. Its long stems are bluish-gray, and the narrow leaves help make this the perfect background for lovely, 5-petalled pale blue flowers. The blooms open in the morning and have dropped by evening. It blooms in the spring. The plants are 1-2' and prefer a light, well-drained or sandy type of soil in full or part sun. Native to California.
