Flax lily is not a true lily (Liliaceae family). It is a perennial flower in the Asphodelaceae family, which makes it a relative of the famous asphodel flower of the Mediterranean region. The plant likes shade, is not bothered by deer, and requires little maintenance, making it an ideal perennial for people "on the go" who want to come home to a colorful garden. Flax lily is fast-growing and reaches maturity within 90 days or so. The flowers bloom in panicles on stalks that jut up over the foliage. The individual blooms are small (1/2 inch to 3/4 inch across) but numerous enough to put on a show. They are usually blue (with striking yellow stamens) but occasionally white. The flowers are succeeded by shiny, blue berries.
