Yellow clouds in May and early June
Woad is a traditional dye plant, used in a fermented form to create blue. I started growing it in my Heirloom Silk ribbon dying days, but the fermentation was very very stinky, Then it flowered and it’s been an essential cut flower ever since -imagine acid yellow gypsophila. It’s a true biennial, so needs to be sown in late summer to flower the following year. Very easy to grow and tough, grow it outside. The seedheads are dangly black clusters, also lovely for adding to late summer arrrangements, just don’t forget to sow some more for the following year.
Height: 1 metre
Spread: 60cm
Quantity 0.2g/approx 40 seeds

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business.
Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world.
