Expected Height & Appearance
Many plants grow approximately 6–24 inches tall, while Blue Flax can produce flowering stems approximately 2–3 feet tall.
Expect a varied planting with flowers at different heights. Mature size depends on the species, soil, moisture, sunlight, and growing conditions.
Planting Overview
1. Prepare Your Space
Remove existing grass, weeds, and debris. Lightly loosen and smooth the soil surface to create a clean seedbed. Good preparation helps reduce competition while young flowers establish.
2. Spread & Press
Broadcast seed evenly using the application rate for your selected package. Gently press the seed into the soil surface for good contact, avoiding deep burial.
3. Water & Establish
Water gently and keep the seeded surface evenly moist during germination. As seedlings develop roots, gradually transition to deeper, less frequent watering.
See our Wildflower Planting Instructions for planting timing and preparation details.
Germination & Seasonal Color
Some annuals may begin sprouting within 1–4 weeks under suitable conditions. Other species emerge later, sometimes after seasonal chilling.
Annual flowers may provide first-season color. Perennial plants often spend their early growth developing roots and contribute more noticeably in later seasons.
Remove competing weeds, provide water during extended dry spells, and allow flowers to grow without routine mowing during their blooming season. Natural reseeding and occasional additional seeding can help maintain the display.
Growing in Containers or Raised Beds
Knee High can also be grown in generously sized containers or raised beds with good drainage and adequate growing space. Containers generally need more frequent watering than in-ground plantings.
Allow room for the different flower varieties to develop, and expect mature heights to vary.
