When to start?

  • 6-8 weeks before last frost for indoor
  • after last frost if starting outside.

Where to start and how to sow?

  • Start indoors: 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Because flax roots are sensitive, you should transplant seedlings into larger containers to avoid them becoming root-bound.
  • Direct sow: Lightly rake the soil gently to bury seeds with a half-inch of soil. Tamp down the seeds to ensure they make direct contact with the soil. Finely spray with water thoroughly; this will provide proper moisture while not drowning the seeds. Continue to water regularly. Seeds will germinate in about 10 days

How to keep happy?

  • Likes slightly acidic to neutral soil that is fertile and well-drained. Sandy or loamy soil is best. If soil is poor, prepare the site by mixing in a lot of organic matter such as compost or manure. Likes to be moist but not water logged.

Prolonging Your Flower Power

Cutting back flax after the initial bloom can prolong flowering, but avoid this in hot climates to prevent stress. High temperatures inhibit reblooming, regardless of pruning.
