Fairy flax is a delicate & attractive little biennial (or occasionally annual) with bright white, yellow centred, flowers consisting of five petals. As with other flaxes the undivided leaves are arranged in opposite pairs & the fruit capsule has a distinctive rounded shape. Its specific name & its other common name of Purring Flax refer to its somewhat startling laxative effects (not recommended). Flowering occurs from June to late September. Sowing the seeds Best sown in the autumn as seed requires a period of chilling to break dormancy. Should sowing have to be carried out at other times the seed can remain viable in the soil until the following spring. Will grow with grass seed Thanks for looking.
