Linseed
Linum usitatissimum
Linseed (flax) is an easy-to-grow annual crop plant that prefers full sun and well-drained, moderately fertile soil with regular but not excessive watering. It produces attractive blue flowers and seeds rich in omega-3 oils, making it both ornamental and practically useful in the home garden. Sow directly outdoors in spring after the last frost and thin seedlings to allow good airflow.
