Scarlet flax (Linum grandiflorum) flashes vivid red, satiny blooms over fine foliage, then drops seed that birds relish. Native to North Africa, it naturalizes lightly in lean, sunny soils and blooms quickly from direct sowing.

Flax has a long history as a fiber and oil plant, though this ornamental cousin is grown for color and wildlife. If you need a fast annual to thread through grasses or fill new beds, scarlet flax brings movement, pollinators, and a bold hit of red without fuss.

Plant seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, or 1-2 weeks before average last frost date. Flax is a self-seeding variety that is good for attracting butterflies and bees. Plants are drought-resistant and will grow in poor soils, making them for hot, humid summers or cold, windy winters. They also tolerate partial shade, making them a great choice for mixed gardens or areas with difficult growing conditions.
