Common Flax Organic

Linum usitatissimum. Blue Flax and Cultivated Flax: This flax has numerous uses. This variety produces edible flax seeds, which can produce linseed oil when pressed. The fibres of the plant's stems can be processed to produce linen cloth. In the garden, Common Flax attracts beneficial insects and pollinators. A stunning wildflower, its plants grow up to 1.2m (4') tall, with long, slender stems. They are easy to grow from direct sowing in early spring, when a chance of frost is still possible. Successive plantings every fortnight will ensure a bloom for an extended period.
