Linen plant (4)

I believe the answer is:

flax

(Other definitions for flax that I've seen before include "leaves from it make cloth" , "Plant yielding linen" , "Blue flowering plant cultivated for its seeds and fibre" , "Source of linen" , "Plant cropped for linen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Mirror.
