How to Germinate Blue Flax Perenne

How to Germinate Blue Flax Perenne (Linum perenne)

  • Sow Blue Flax Perenne seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall for best results.
  • Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them down lightly; do not cover, as they require light to germinate.
  • Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil, preferably sandy or loamy.
  • Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged during the germination period, which typically takes 14-21 days.
  • Space seeds about 6-12 inches apart to allow for mature plant growth and airflow.
  • Thin seedlings if necessary to prevent overcrowding and promote healthy growth.

Additional Tips

  • Blue Flax Perenne thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates.
  • Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, as the plant is drought-tolerant once established.
  • Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and control weeds while providing a clean garden appearance.
  • Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the growing season.
  • Reseed or divide mature plants every few years to maintain a vibrant and healthy garden display.
