WOAD BIRMINGHAM ~ grown to organic standards by us (not yet organically certified)

Growing dye plants gives you a feeling of connection to nature, that is unique and I am delighted that you are thinking of taking that step. There can never be enough growers on our Earth and I do believe that growing your own colour adds yet another dimension to gardening and the plant world as a whole. If you can keep it organic, do, the colours are richer and the flora and fauna will thank you for it, as do we. Enjoy!

Woad Birmingham is a little gem originating from Canada. We are always delighted to receive a new variant of Woad. Sent to us from a member of the Woad Project Facebook group. It has a few special characteristics: a crinkled leaf edge, strong waxy leaves and gives a beautiful blue green colour. 

Woad has been used for centuries to obtain a blue dye. An attractive plant with 1m high stems, long succulent leaves, which shine like stained glass, with inner blue; foamy clusters and brilliant yellow flowers.

Woad is a biannual plant and the leaves are used for dyeing in the first year. Once the flowers have formed in the second year, the leaves only obtain very little dye and the second year is therefore only used for seed collection.

Sow: In Spring, late February to March in trays

Harvest: Leaves first year from early June
