Dye seeds Dyer's chamomile, Anthemis tinctoria

Description

Dyer's chamomile dyes textiles a bright and satured yellow.

The perennial plant thrives in sunny locations with well-drained, sandy, also gravelly soils. Dyer's chamomile grows on nutrient-poor soils. It's not just a dye plant, but also attracts numerous insects into the garden with its flowers - it blooms from around June until well into late autumn! I have even had single flowers throughout december and january.

Cut flowers regularly for many new buds. Cutting back after the summer can help the plant grow back strong in the next year. If you let flowers go to seed, they may self sow.

The seeds were grown locally. I offer a kit with several dye plants.
