The Story
Flax is the flower you’ve been missing in your garden border! ‘Linore’ reliably produces beautiful, sky-blue, pollinator-attracting flowers and delicate, airy foliage on stems that average about 2.5' tall. Developed in 1962 at the University of Oregon, this cold-tolerant variety can also be grown for linseed oil and fiber production. 100-110 days.
Instructions: Direct sow seeds onto the soil's surface as soon as the ground can be worked in early spring. Do not cover the seeds, as they require sunlight to germinate. Water well after seeds are sown. Collect seeds at the end of the season to broadcast for future planting, and clear growth once it dies back.
- Direct sow in spring as soon as the ground can be worked
- Requires sun stratification to germinate
- Space plants 6"-9" apart in row
- Space rows 6" - 9" apart
- 1 lb seed can be broadcast sown to cover a 10' x 10' garden plot
