Common Questions

Q

When do you harvest flax plants?

A

Flax typically matures within 90 to 120 days. To harvest the seeds, pull out the whole plant, tie the stems together, and hang them to dry for three to five weeks until the seed heads are fully dried out.

Q

What climate is ideal for growing flax?

A

Flax plants thrive in soil that is consistently moist (but not waterlogged) and in cool temperatures while growing. However, they require warm and dry conditions during the seed and fiber harvesting period.

Q

What is the flax plant grown for?

A

Flax was among the earliest crops cultivated by humans, primarily for its fibers. The production of flax began to decline only after the invention of the cotton gin. Presently, there is a revival in cultivating this annual herb, with a newfound admiration for its natural charm and the versatile applications of its fiber, oil, and seeds.

Q

Do I need to prune back my flowers?

A

If you cut back by half after the first bloom your flax plants will continue blooming. If you live in a hot climate, cutting back can negatively affect your plants so don’t cut back.
