Airy perennial flower
Blue Flax
Airy blue perennial flowers that add movement and fine texture to sunny, well-drained plantings.
Blue Flax adds something meadows often need: movement. Slender stems carry clear blue flowers that seem to hover and flicker in the breeze, making it a graceful choice for sunny drifts, perennial combinations, and softer edges around bolder flowers. This is the familiar non-native perennial blue flax, distinct from our separate Lewis Flax offering.
