Flax Seeds
Flax seeds, which produce cup-shaped annual or perennial flowers, begin blooming in May and will continue through September, producing abundant flowers that last one day each. At a top height of 24", some flax seeds such as Linum usitatissimum can be grown for the oil of its seeds, linseed oil. Other commercial uses of this crop, such as spinning linen from flax fibers, have been in existence since Ancient Egyptian times. We simply like to grow flax seeds for their delicate, attractive appearance. A low growing, early bloomer, pair with baby's breath for a wispy border or trim.

Linum, or flax, is a genus of approximately 200 species that are native to temperate and subtropical regions of the world. Several flaxes are cultivated as garden ornamentals, but in Eurasia, since Roman times, Linum has been cultivated not only for its plant fiber, but also its seeds and tender leaves for culinary use.
