Natural Dye Seed Collection 2026

Description

Start your own dye garden! This set includes the seeds of 6 different plants used for natural dyeing: Madder, Dyer’s Coreopsis, Hopi Red Dye Amaranth, Japanese Indigo, Dyer’s Chamomile and Weld. All were grown in my own suburban Minnesota garden with no pesticides or herbicides and hand picked and sorted. I can’t WAIT to share my love of gardening and natural dye with you! Read below for more details. **These seeds were harvested in 2024 or 2025 for 2026 season planting**

Dyer’s Chamomile: (Golden Marguerite, Cota tinctoria or Anthemis tinctoria). The flowers provide a bright, strong, light-fast yellow natural dye.

Dyer’s Coreopsis: A North American native, Dyer’s Coreopsis is a gorgeous, bee-attracting summer bloom that also gives you a bright orange to red-brown in the dye pot.

Hopi Red Dye Amaranth: A gorgeous annual 4 to 6 feet tall with long, draping flower heads, this amaranth is a stunner in the garden and has so many uses.

Japanese Indigo: An easy to grow member of the knotweed family, Japanese Indigo is a great option for those looking for a natural blue dye.

Weld: Used to make a fast yellow dye since ancient times, this is a leafy biennial plant that flowers on a tall shoot in the second year.

Madder: The classic plant for red dye, dye comes from the roots. This plant does best in a space it cannot tunnel out of, and is at its prime when the roots are at least 3 years old!
