Description
Blue Lewis Flax
This hardy native will produce delicate flowers of vibrant blue and will over-winter in many areas, behaving as a short-lived perennial. Native peoples have traditionally used fibers from the long, tough stems for ropes and fishing nets and the oily seeds for medicines. This is a great wildflower species to attract birds which love the oily seeds. Â Blue Lewis Flax has single flowers ranging from vibrant blue to light blue on tall, branching stalks with blue-green foliage. These seeds will germinate in about two weeks in a sunny to partially sunny location. The plants may re-seed themselves annually. Planting in the late fall to winter will allow the seeds to overcome the natural dormancy for quicker germination in the spring.
