This native American wildflower attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, so it makes for an excellent addition to any garden or landscape! Hardiness zones 5-9. 750mg ~ 500 seeds.
GROWING TIPS
Plant seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, or 4-6 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 perfect 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. Can be used to make linen fabrics.
