Notes
'Charmer' flowering flax (Linum grandiflorum 'Charmer') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall with an erect habit and stays about 12 inches wide. Bees visit the flowers, and the plant is drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Calendula, Autumn Beauty sunflower, and Indian grass.
