Description
Scarlet flax flashes vivid red, satiny blooms over fine, upright foliage, creating a simple but striking show in sunny beds and wildflower patches. Each flower is delicate and short-lived, but plants bloom in succession, so the color keeps appearing like sparks across the planting.
This easy annual is useful for meadow-style borders, pollinator gardens, and quick seasonal color. Plant it in groups for the strongest effect, where the thin stems and glowing red petals can move lightly in the breeze and brighten the garden without taking over.
