Common Flax, also known as Flax or Linseed , produces delicate, sky-blue flowers on slender upright stems, giving a soft and natural look to garden spaces. It grows well in cool to mild weather, prefers full sunlight and well-drained soil, and is suitable for 8-12 inch pots, borders, garden beds, and wildflower-style planting. Native to the eastern Mediterranean and parts of western Asia, it has been grown since ancient times for its useful seeds, fibre, and simple ornamental beauty.
