Linum perenne 'Blue Sapphire' | ||||||||||||
Perennial flax 'Blue Sapphire' | ||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||
This compact form of perennial flax is a cottage garden favourite, with ferny foliage and masses of sky-blue flowers from late spring and right through the summer. It works well as an edging plant, in containers and for naturalising in wildlife gardens. Although short-lived, it will gently self-seed. Established plants are drought-tolerant. | ||||||||||||
Sowing and/or growing instructions | ||||||||||||
Sow direct in spring (in milder areas sowings can be made in late summer for over-wintering), gently raking into the soil, thinning to 10-15cm apart. Alternatively, sow thinly, 3mm deep, in modules, keeping one seedling per cell, for planting out later. |
