Cultivation Flax
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. Fertilize 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. Light FlaxSole pieno
We advise cultivating the The Flax outdoors, since it doesn't fear cold temperatures. We suggest to position the The Flax in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day.These plants have an annual development, therefore when it becomes cold they deteriorate, and get completely eradicated. Water FlaxTenere asciutto
Water sporadically, with 2-3 glasses of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 1-2 weeks . As the cold weather arrives, in autumn, usually waterings is interrupted because these plants can't bear harsh temperatures. Pests 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. Mold Flax
We advise locating these annual plants in a dissolved soil, with an elevated drainage.
