    A mix of french Marigolds (Tagetes patula). We love to grow rows of these cheerful flowers between rows of taller, more gangly, dye plants. One of our favourite things to do on warm mid-summer nights is to sit with a favourite movie and clip marigold petals from flower heads harvested earlier in the day.

     

    Using only the flower petals creates an extremely concentrated dye source and very little plant material is needed to dye a strong shade. We have found that a super concentrated bath will tend to produce a greenish yellow. Using a lighter concentration produces a lovely medium shade of rich, warm yellow.
