Sapphire Blue Flax
Linum perenne 'Sapphire'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Linaceae
Plant Description: Purple blue flowers bloom in early to mid-summer on compact stems. The small, thin leaves are almost grass-like and grow along the stems. This variety is more compact than the species and extremely cold tolerant. It works great in naturalized areas or meadows. It will re-seed, which is a desirable feature for this lovely plant.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
