Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Plant Blue Flax in well-drained soil in full sun. Prepare the planting area by loosening the soil and removing any weeds or debris. Sow seeds directly into the garden in early spring or fall, as they require cold stratification for germination. Water lightly after planting to settle the seeds into the soil. Once established, Blue Flax requires minimal watering and maintenance, thriving in dry, rocky soils.
