Blue Flax

Blue Flax (Linum lewisii, also known as Lewis flax) attracts a variety of pollinators—bees and butterflies—and its seeds provide a valuable food source for birds. This wildflower is a prolific self-seeder, meaning it readily volunteers and spreads in the garden. It naturally thrives in diverse environments, from salt deserts to mountain meadows, making it one of the easiest native wildflowers to grow. Although each delicate bloom lasts only a day, a continuous display of flowers can light up your garden from summer through fall if it receives enough water.
