Flax, also known as Linum usitatissimum or Common Flax, is a graceful winter annual grown for its soft blue flowers and fine green foliage. It thrives in sunny garden beds or large pots, producing airy blooms that attract pollinators. Easy to grow and fast to flower, flax adds a natural, meadow-like feel to winter gardens.
