Permaculture Dye Garden Spiral

Who says that herb spirals need to be for culinary or medicinal use? Why not plant a permaculture-inspired dye garden in a spiral layout? In this Botanical Dyer's Garden plan, we have Hopi Red Dye Amaranth as the centerpiece, surrounded by Hopi Black Dye Sunflower and Safflower. On the outskirts, hawaiian marigold, indigo, dyer's coreopsis, corn poppy, and bachelor's button provide a range of plant-based color!

Jamie Young - Natural Dye Educator on Instagram: "Some of my personal favorite natural dye plants for creating eco prints. 🌿🌼 Flowers: hibiscus, cosmos, coreopsis, black knight scabiosa Leaves: cosmos, tree of heaven, geranium, hemp, sumac, Chinese pistache, & redud The truth is, with a good, adjustable mordanting recipe, almost any plant will make a clear beautiful print. The key is being able to match the dye constituents within the plant to the proper mordants. Many plants contain multiple phytochemicals and can create a variety of prints depending on the pretreatment that is used. For instance, a tannin rich leaf such as Chinese pistache, is capable of creating yellow, green, lavender and dark purple prints when slight adjustments are made to the mordant recipe. 🌈 I make this easy Tree Of Heaven, Purple Prints, Leaf Dyeing, Green Lavender, Fabric Dye, Natural Dyeing, Green Leaf Print, Botanical Dyeing, Jamie Young

True dye plants contain specific phytochemicals that produce colorful dyes. Flavonoids are a key group among these dye constituents. Derived from the Latin word ‘Flavia,’ meaning yellow, most flavonoids are yellow. However, the beautiful but less stable blue, green, red, and purple anthocyanin-based dyes are also flavonoids.
