The flaxes range from dwarf alpines to moderately tall herbs (and even a shrub), and include some excellent garden plants. The flared conical flowers are showy, and come in a range of colours, including a splendid light blue.
Linum arboreum is a dwarf, evergreen shrub (after all, the specific name means 'tree'), with bright yellow flowers, produced successively throughout late spring and summer.
