description for "Perennials: Linum austriacum"
Begin your day with this colorful Flax variety. Its dainty blue flowers have deep blue veins that extend to the edges of the bloom. This beauty tends to only bloom in the mornings then die back in the late afternoons. It repeats this unusual blooming cycle throughout the Summer. This variety is a shade darker than the more popular "Heavenly Blue" but is still a colorful addition to any mass plantings or as a filler plant. Hardy in zones 5-9. Edited by S. Derr

Native to Southern Europe
