Flax, also known as Common flax, Linseed, Cultivated flax, Brown flax, Oilseed flax, Golden flax
Flax is generally considered easy to care for, requiring well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight to thrive. Special care points include ensuring not to overwater, as flax is relatively drought tolerant and excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Moreover, flax benefits from occasional weeding and may require support when growing in windy environments to prevent stem damage.
