Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

A Utah native. King's Yellow flax is related to its more well-known kin, blue flax, though the stature a little shorter, foliage is a little more substantial, and the flower is a clear, bright yellow. Blooms June to August in its natural habitat, but probably earlier in the valley. Well suited to a rock or alpine garden.
