Persicaria tinctoria
I have fallen in love with the indigo plant- this variety- Persicaria tinctoria specifically. It grows surprisingly well in our Northwest climate and has produced an abundance of leaves for dying. I harvested the plants down to the ground three times for fresh indigo dye projects as well as for fermenting for homegrown indigo pigment and they were undaunted! I have a limited amount of seed available so order early!
For best results start indoors in April to transplant out in mid-late May. They need warmth to get going. Germination is naturally variable so oversow if possible. Space 12" apart.
Packet contains ~25 seeds
