Linseed

Once a common feature in the English countryside, the pretty blue flowers of the Linseed crop were becoming an increasingly rare sight. However recent problems with GM contamination of imported Canadian crops has led to a firming of prices and a resurgance of interest from growers. 

For growers interested in this specialist opportunity, Limagrain UK are able to offer conventional brown linseed of the industrial oil type (Aries, Taurus), or edible yellow linseed varieties (Linola) such as Windermere.
