Flax Seeds

Linum grandiflorum
full sun, part shade in hot climatesPastel salmon-colored flowers with coppery-orange central eyes bloom profusely in summer. Salmon Bright Eyes flax has been grown in cottage gardens since the 1800s. Airy, 1-1.5 ft mounds of slender, wiry stems allow the satiny, cup-shaped blooms to wander and mingle nicely among other annual flowers like snapdragons, love-in-a-mist, Shirley poppies, and bachelor buttons. Salmon Bright Eyes flax is an excellent nectar source for pollinating insects, and also makes a nice seasonal ground cover for spring-blooming bulbs.
