Flax (Linum)

Flax has upright stems that are only branched at the top. Flax flowers are indispensable in a rock garden. Bees flock to a meadow full of blossoming flax. Very nice to see. They are easy flowers that require little care. Flax especially likes the sun. Furthermore, the ground should not be too wet.

The flowers are suitable as cut flowers. The branches with the round seed bulbs are used in dry bouquets.

Flax is nice to combine with Erysimum, Dianthus, Lupine, Malva and Achillea
