I didn’t know you could use them to dye with. I had a black flower garden before. I try to grow a lot of edible flowers. I look forward to trying to grow these. Thank you for posting your interview.

And yet, as a knitter, it makes so much sense. I am interested in Prairie Sun Rudbeckia for its lightness and Black Knight Scabiosa for its darkness.

I don’t know much about using plants to die but I look forward to gaining information and trying my hand at it.

Would love to experiment with seeds for dyeing!

I’m also very interested in indigo since blue shades are harder to find (in my very limited experience).

I live in the Salt Lake Valley and am super excited to learn more about the varieties they grow and try my hand at dyeing. I am most interested in trying the coreopsis and the marigolds.
