Planted a 6'x8' area with all red flax in full sun. Had to re-sow a couple times because the birds ate some of the seeds. They are hardy, low maintenance plants once they're growing, but I'm pretty underwhelmed with their flowers. The blooms are very sparse. Was hoping for much more color.

I started these at home in biodegradable small pots. Then, I transplanted them outside in October. it took a while for the mature plant to come up to the full height (approx 2 ft), but once they got going, beautiful, tender smaller flowers started blooming in March and looks like they'll be blooming for a while. Definitely we'll grow them again

This was my first time growing flax and I love these dainty little flowers. Mass plant these for a carpet of delicate scarlet flowers on tall slender stems. Reminds me of a cottage garden.

We started these in a pot and also direct sowed them. The potted seeds produced beautiful bright red flowers all summer and through September. The direct sown seeds produced a snack for the bunnies. We're definitely going to plant these again!
