Lewis blue flax is a graceful perennial with delicate sky-blue flowers that open each morning throughout summer. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils and performs especially well in prairie gardens, rock gardens, and dry borders.

Flowers attract native bees, small butterflies, hoverflies, and beneficial insects. Seeds provide food for small birds.

Easy to grow.
Drought tolerant once established.
May self-seed lightly without becoming invasive.
Short-lived but renews itself through seed.
Avoid overly rich soils.

CAUTION
Generally considered non-toxic. Large quantities of immature seeds may contain naturally occurring compounds that can be harmful to livestock, but garden risk is very low.
