Most often, garden flax is used in group plantings, and is also grown for cutting. Flax is often found in Moorish lawns. It is possible to use flax for rock gardens. Blooming flax looks great against the background of stones. This plant is loved for its small, but very numerous and very delicate flowers. Flax goes well with brightly colored annuals. Flax seed is used to prepare oil used in traditional medicine.Depending on the type and variety, flax is propagated by seeds, cuttings or by dividing the bush. Flax seeds are sown in spring.
