Blue Flax

Blue Flax is a short-lived perennial herb with blue-green needlelike leaves on graceful 2-foot-tall stems. Satiny sky blue flowers, borne on wiry stems, appear in late spring, last through midsummer, and open fully only on sunny days. Small rounded seed heads form in summer

Blue Flax looks best when massed.  It is effective in rock gardens, border fronts, meadows, wild gardens or informal naturalized plantings and is also a colorful addition to an herb garden. Good Container plant also
