Intense Summer Colour and Effortless, Vibrant Blooms.

Scarlet Flax (Linum grandiflorum rubrum) is a hardy self-sowing annual prized for its brilliant, deep red flowers and rich green foliage. Native to North Africa and Southern Europe, this species is built for the sun and is exceptionally tolerant of dry, sandy soils. Reaching a tidy height of 45 cm, it provides an explosion of intense colour from late June through August. While each delicate bloom typically lasts only a single day, the plants are so prolific that the flowering remains continuous throughout the summer, creating a stunning “carpet” effect when massed.
