Blue Flax (Linum Lewisii) is a beloved wildflower native to many states, including Missouri. It grows 18-30 inches tall and for about six weeks in spring and summer bears its small, pristine, sky-blue flowers in great abundance on graceful, arching stems. The plant tolerates poor soils, takes drought, and does well in sun or semi-shade. It can also be seeded over wide areas in late fall to spring to provide tall groundcover and good erosion control.
