Growing recommendations
Perennial. Flax requires cold stratification for successful germination. Place seeds in a damp paper towel in the fridge for 3–4 weeks, then sow indoors 4–8 weeks before the last frost. Alternately, direct seed in the late fall or early spring. Plant in full sun, spacing plants 6–8 inches apart. Blue Flax prefers well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established. It requires little maintenance once planted and may self-seed naturally.

We're trialing and breeding new varieties!
This is the most challenging and thrilling part of our work.
The trialing allows us to test varieties of a same species side by side and determine which one(s) taste and perform the best.
Breeding and variety maintenance means selecting for traits that are desirable such as flavor, texture, disease resitance, earliness and hardiness, just to mention a few.
