Additional Tips

  • Mulch around the carrot plants to help keep the soil cool and moist.
  • Thin the carrot seedlings to 2-3 inches apart once they have a few sets of leaves.
  • Carrots are susceptible to carrot root fly, so you may want to plant them with companion plants such as mint or radishes.

Lewisii flax sends more stems from the base, so it is slightly 'bushy' in appearance. Dazzling blue blossoms on graceful stems adorn this beautiful native wildflower. It is easy to grow from seed, requires little care, and is drought tolerant. The intense blue flowers create a sensation when they appear in spring and last until the small rounded seed-heads form in late summer.
