Scarlet Flax (Linum grandiflorum rubrum) is a striking annual wildflower known for its vivid crimson-red, satiny blooms with dark centers. These eye-catching flowers create a bold splash of color in garden beds, borders, and wildflower meadows from late spring through summer.
Growing 12–20 inches tall, Scarlet Flax produces slender stems and fine-textured foliage topped with delicate, cup-shaped flowers. Though individual blooms last just a day, plants flower continuously, creating a vibrant, long-lasting display.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, Scarlet Flax thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it ideal for cottage gardens, pollinator patches, meadow plantings, and cut flower gardens. It readily reseeds in favorable conditions.
