How to Germinate Blue Flax Lewisii

How to Germinate Blue Flax Lewisii (Linum lewisii)

  • Sow Blue Flax seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall, as they prefer cooler temperatures for germination.
  • Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them down gently; do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
  • Choose a well-draining location with full sun to partial shade for the best growth.
  • Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged during the germination period, which usually takes 15-20 days.
  • Space seeds about 6-12 inches apart to allow room for mature plants to spread.
  • Thin seedlings if necessary to prevent overcrowding and ensure healthy growth.

Additional Tips

  • Blue Flax thrives in full sun and well-draining, sandy, or loamy soil.
  • Water moderately, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering as the plant is drought-tolerant once established.
  • Mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and prevent weed growth.
  • Prune or deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the growing season.
  • Reseed in the fall to ensure a continuous display of blooms each year.
