Description

Herbaceous perennial. Native to southern and central Europe, the Balkan Peninsula and central Asia. Giant plant bearing handsome, yellow flowers. Harvest the octopus-like roots in the fall of the second year’s growth. The plant is processed to yield a blue dye. This is pure seed, with pappus removed.

Organically Grown. 50 seeds/pkt.

  • After second set of leaves appear, transplant seedlings out to the garden, even if you still expect a few frosts.
  • Grows in full sun or partial shade.
  • Plant 2 feet apart.
