Light FlaxSole pieno
These plants shouldn't be grown in the garden during the cold period; in autumn the plants usually perish, and should be eradicated from the ground. The Flax should be preferably located in a place where it can have at least a few hours a day of direct solar light.These plants are rustic in the areas with a Mediterranean climate, therefore they can be grown outside.

Fertilize Flax
Before placing the annuals, let’s enrich the soil with a small dose of organic fertilizer or slow release granular chemical fertilizer; during the spring we should use a specific fertilizer for flowering plants to be mixed with the irrigating water, to be used every 20-30 days.

Cultivation Flax
The Flax has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. These plants are used in rock gardens. Flax Is an evergreen; during summer iIt assumes a yellow colouring; the adult specimens are large in size and reach 30 cm high.

Water FlaxTenere asciutto
Let's water abundantly, moistening the soil deeply with 2-3 glasses of water , but let's act only when the substratum is dry, leaving it dry even for 1-2 weeks before watering it. As the cold weather arrives, in autumn, we can interrupt watering, and let the plants perish.

Pests Flax
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Mold Flax
They prefer dissolved soils, with an optimal drainage.
