(Das ist die zweite Edition vom Set in 2025 – ohne Hopi Black Dye Sonnenblume.)

You can also buy each variety individually. The plants are suitable for growing in raised beds and pots, so you don't necessarily need an entire garden!

Seed quantities are designed for planting a small dyer's garden, a few beds in an allotment, or gardening on a patio or balcony. (If you want to plant whole fields, they are too small for you.) Some plants, like tickseed f.ex., have very light and small seeds. The sachet is light as a feather, but still contains several hundred seeds!
Bigger sachets of some varities can be found here.

If you would like to learn more about the dye plants, their cultivation and care, the set is also available as a bundle with my e-book 'Farbe ernten' (german only) which takes you along through the process!
