A drying oil, which can be used as a substitute for linseed oil, is produced from the very oily seeds. The contained essential oils are mainly relevant for the production of cosmetics.

Sowing & cultivation
Sowing directly outdoors from April, or late sowing from July, then the seeds germinate next year. The damask violet will re-seed itself from then on and forms dense patches. It belongs to the cruciferous plants and has similar soil requirements as its relatives: It thrives best in nutrient-rich, moist and loamy soil. However, under less favorable conditions - such in half-shade or even in the shade, in planting containers and in balcony boxes - it can also grow magnificently and reach a height of more than one meter.
