Lynne, I wonder if the Blue Flax
seeds that you bought spread out like these
plants do. (I assume they're "normal" Blue Flax & not the wild type like I drug up from my field here!) I sorta wish that just one of these
plants (the wild ones) wasn't so far-reaching & spindly... it'd take LOTS & LOTS of them to make a bed look really nice, but I think they'd actually look fine in a bed of other wild
flowers.
Gotta really watch those when they go to
seed though! I can see how they could be a big problem, especially in lawned areas, cuz last year I had only ONE of those
plants, & I deliberately picked off the
seed pods & spread them around in that bed... trust me, there are LOTS of them there this year!
I know it's been almost 2 weeks since you posted above... sorry about that. I
finally got my links all rounded up & organized, & am finding all the old threads I thought I'd lost track of! Gosh, I sure jumped around a lot with this topic... I started out asking about the Grape Hyacinth & foolishly included the Wild blue flax in the same post!
I
hate when I do that!
