With a history of use going back before 7000 B.C., Linum usitassimum has a huge history not only as the source of linen, but also as a food & medicine. Besides that, it’s awfully pretty. Quickly growing to 3’ tall with very upright stems that branch out near the base of the main stalk, it’s topped in late Spring & into Summer with lovely, sky blue, single blooms that move in the breeze. Extremely EASY & FAST growing, it makes an almost instant vertical accent. And then, after it’s done, you can eat the seeds chock full of the currently touted Omega 3 & Omega 6 oils & antioxidants (must be why Charlemagne in the 8th century passed laws requiring his subjects to consume flax seed!). There you have it! Reseeds!
