Description

Tickseed dyes natural fibers in orange-rust to brown-red tones. The delicate flowers can reach a height of around 80cm. The flowers, yellow-orange with dark center can be harvested regularly. Some plants bloom in a dark red color. Deadhead the flowers every few days, more flowers will pop up. Insects will be buzzing around them until autumn. If you let some flowers go to seed, they will self sow.

Choose a sunny location. Tickseed tolerates heat and drought, it thrived very well for me even in the dry, hot summer of 2018. The soil should be permeable and moderately nutritious, avoid waterlogging.

The seeds come from regional organic cultivation. They're part of the dye plant seeds kit.

Das Saatgut wird als Einschreiben verschickt, in Deutschland kostet das 3,65€. Wenn du nur drei Tütchen bestellst, können die als einfacher Brief für 1,40€ verschickt werden – das geht nur, wenn du Vorkasse Überweisung als Zahlmethode wählst, und mir eine Notiz dazu schreibst in der Bestellung. Das ist dann ohne Sendungsverfolgung und wird bei Verlust nicht ersetzt.
