Adding A Blue Flax Flower To Your Garden
Adding the Blue Flax Flower to your yard can be a wonderful way to add color to your garden. .
Flowers from blue to purple are widely available for your gardening delight. You can plant all blue or purple plants in a cluster in one section of your garden for a unique effect.
When planting your Blue Flax Flower it is wise to follow the instructions for planting and maintaining the flowers. While many flowers thrive in full sun, some prefer the shade so it is important to plant the flowers where they will grow best. A sun loving flower will not grow to a lush full plant if it is planted in the shade.
Be sure that you fertilize and water your Blue Flax Flower according to the instructions that came with the flower and you will be rewarded with big luscious blooms. Don’t forget to pinch off the dead flowers and care for perennials at the end of the season as recommended.
Some other considerations when planting your Blue Flax Flower plant include:
Bloom Time – what timeframe the plant will flower in – planting flowers in the same areas that have different blooming times will insure a succession of blooms throughout the growing season.
Size – make sure you plant the taller plants in the back so they don’t obscure the view of the shorter growing flowers.
