Description:
Linum grandiflorum, commonly known as ornamental flax, is an annual herb native to Algeria. It features brilliant red flowers that bloom for just one day, attracting pollinators to gardens. This plant thrives in hot and dry conditions and can be left to go to seed for prolonged color. Its erect, branching stems are adorned with waxy, lance-shaped leaves and flowers with five red petals and light blue pollen. While it is a species of flax, it is not suitable for consumption. Cultivated in various colors, notable varieties include L. grandiflorum rubrum and Bright Eyes.
