  • Notes

An annual cousin of our native blue flax. Blooms spring into summer, though flowering diminishes as the temperatures rise. Flowers are five petaled, cup-like, and come in an array of red, white, and pink. foliage is fine and grass-like. Depending on variety, plants grow 12 to 30 inches tall, and not as wide.
