Linum marginale

Linum marginale, or Native Flax, is a delicate, fast-growing perennial herb native to Australia, commonly found in grasslands, woodlands, and along creek banks. Growing up to 60 cm tall, it features slender, upright stems with fine, linear green leaves and charming, pale blue, star-shaped flowers that bloom profusely from spring to summer, adding a soft, graceful touch to natural landscapes.

Thriving in well-drained soils and tolerating full sun to partial shade, Native Flax is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for native gardens, wildflower meadows, and habitat restoration projects. The flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, while its seeds provide food for native birds, enhancing biodiversity.

With its subtle beauty, adaptability, and ecological benefits, Linum marginale is a versatile and appealing addition to sustainable landscaping and native plantings.
