What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Lewis Blue Flax Seeds (Linum lewisii) grow into a graceful, resilient native perennial prized for its clear blue flowers and exceptional adaptability. Naturally found across much of North America, this wildflower thrives in challenging conditions, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance landscapes, restoration plantings, and water-wise gardens.

The plant produces slender stems topped with delicate, sky-blue blooms that appear from late spring through mid-summer. Lewis Blue Flax performs well in full sun to partial shade, prefers poor or rocky soils, and requires minimal watering once established. Its cold-hardy nature allows it to overwinter reliably in a wide range of climates.

Native Perennial with Striking Blue Flowers:

  • Soft, sky-blue blooms with a light, airy appearance
  • Flowers from late spring into mid-summer
  • Adds color and movement to naturalized landscapes

Hardy and Adaptable Growth Habit:

  • Drought tolerant and well suited to xeriscape gardens
  • Thrives in poor, low-fertility soils
  • Cold hardy and dependable overwintering perennial
  • Tolerates partial shade and resists deer pressure

Why Gardeners Love Lewis Blue Flax:

  • Native wildflower with broad climate adaptability
  • Low-maintenance and water-efficient
  • Attracts bees and other beneficial pollinators
  • Suitable for ornamental plantings, restoration, and open landscapes
  • Can provide forage value in mixed-use or rural settings

How to Grow Lewis Blue Flax:
Direct sow seeds outdoors in fall or early spring for best germination. Plant in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Water during establishment, then reduce supplemental watering once plants are established. Minimal fertilization is needed, as this plant performs best in lean soils.
