Flax Seeds

Flax (linum) is a beautiful flowering plant from the flax family (linaceae) and, depending on the species, can be grown as an ornamental plant (Linum grandiflorum)  or as a plant for fibre or seeds (Linum usitatissimum).  The seeds, also known as flaxseed, are edible and can be used to press oil. Linen is made from the fibers of the plants. The plant blooms with light blue, purple, pink, red or white flowers. Flax can also be used as green manure, which improves the soil structure. Flax is easy to grow yourself and also suitable for a novice gardener. The plants require virtually no care.
