The Thompson & Morgan Linum grandiflorum 'Salmon Bright Eyes' is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to add delicate, pollinator-friendly color to their borders throughout the summer months. This hardy annual is perfect for beginner gardeners due to its ease of growth, though it requires well-drained soil and a sunny position to prevent stunted development. Its slender, graceful foliage and distinct salmon-pink flowers with deep orange centers provide a soft, airy aesthetic that complements both established perennials and other annual plantings.
