Flax seeds — drifts of silky, short-lived blooms

Flax brings a delicate, meadow-like charm to the garden — slender stems topped with simple, satiny flowers in blue, red and white that open afresh each day above fine foliage. Our ornamental seed range centres on scarlet flax, Linum grandiflorum, within our flower seed collection. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide gets you started.

Quick and easy from a direct sowing — the calendar shows when.

Effortless meadow colour

Sown in drifts, flax weaves naturally through informal plantings, making it a favourite among our wildflowers and annual flowers. Tolerant of poor, dry ground, it also sits comfortably with our drought-tolerant flowers. For the scarlet species in detail, see Linum grandiflorum.

Growing flax from seed

Flax is best sown direct where it is to flower, scattered thinly on raked soil in full sun from spring once the ground warms. It dislikes being moved, so thin rather than transplant; a second sowing extends the show, as each plant flowers quickly but briefly.

Planning a meadow patch or an easy annual border? Here's where to look next.

At SeedsChoice, every order ships from Meppel, NL with fast, tracked EU delivery.

Is flax easy to grow from seed?
Yes. Ornamental flax is one of the simplest annuals — sow it direct in full sun from spring and it germinates and flowers quickly. Should I sow flax direct or transplant?
Sow direct where it is to flower. Flax dislikes root disturbance, so thin seedlings rather than moving them. How long does flax flower?
Each plant flowers quickly but fairly briefly, so make a second sowing a few weeks later to extend the display through summer. Does flax cope with poor, dry soil?
It does — flax thrives in light, well-drained ground and tolerates dry conditions, making it useful for low-water plantings.
