Linum lewisii, commonly known as Lewis Flax, Blue Flax, or Prairie Flax, is a graceful perennial wildflower native to western North America. Growing approximately 1–2½ feet tall, it produces delicate sky-blue, five-petaled flowers on slender stems from late spring into summer. Lewis Flax thrives in full sun, well-draining soil, and low-water conditions, making it an excellent choice for wildflower gardens, xeriscapes, meadows, borders, and pollinator plantings. Hardy in approximately USDA Zones 3–9, established plants can tolerate temperatures around -30°F and are drought-tolerant once established. The flowers attract native bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. You can sow seeds outdoors in fall for natural winter exposure or in early spring, and cold stratification may improve germination. Easy to grow from seed and beautifully water-wise, Lewis Flax adds a soft sweep of true blue to sunny gardens—order seeds now and bring this western native wildflower home.
