I like the article The Flax is large in size and 30 cm in height; in the summer it assumes a blue colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The Flax is a plant for a rock garden. Feed Flax
Annual plants have a quite vigorous development and need, during the spring, a continuous fertilization; when placing them let’s add some humus or mature manure or some slow release granular fertilizer to the ground. During the spring months we suggest mixing some fertilizer for flowering plants to the irrigating water every 20-30 days. Temperatures Flax
We suggest growing the The Flax outdoors year round, as they don't fear cold weather. Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of sunlight.These plants have an annual development, therefore when it becomes cold they deteriorate, and get completely eradicated. Irrigation Flax
Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 1-2 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 2-3 glasses of water . As the cold weather arrives, in autumn, usually waterings is interrupted because these plants can't bear harsh temperatures. Adversity Flax
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate. Substrate Flax
We advise locating these annual plants in a dissolved soil, with an elevated drainage.
