Blue Flax Seeds – Heirloom, Perennial Wildflower, Non-GMO

Blue Flax Seeds (Linum lewisii) are a hardy perennial wildflower native to North America. Commonly known as Lewis Flax Flower or Perennial Blue Flax, this plant is admired for its delicate, shimmering blue flowers that bloom from late spring to mid-summer. With its ability to thrive in various soil types, withstand drought conditions, and resist deer, Blue Flax Seeds are a low-maintenance yet stunning addition to any garden or meadow.

This heirloom wildflower seed variety is open-pollinated, meaning it naturally reproduces through wind and pollinators like bees and butterflies. It can be directly sown in fall or spring and is excellent for pollinator gardens, prairie restorations, and natural landscaping. The long, slender stems can reach up to 2 feet in height, making it a visually appealing choice for any space.
