100 Seeds Perennial Blue Flax Linum perenne Wildflower Pollinator Cottage Garden

Perennial Blue Flax, botanically known as Linum perenne, is a graceful wildflower prized for its delicate sky-blue blooms that open above slender, wiry stems. Forming tidy clumps of narrow blue-green foliage, it returns year after year and brings an airy, naturalistic feel to beds, borders, and meadow-style plantings.
This easygoing perennial is a favorite for cottage gardens, wildflower areas, and informal borders, where its light, nodding flower heads sway gently in the breeze. The fine texture of the foliage pairs beautifully with bolder perennials, ornamental grasses, and low shrubs. Its blooms appear through late spring and summer on plants that reach a compact, upright habit suited to both front-of-border and mixed planting schemes.
