seeds
Open-pollinated. Annual. A beautiful native ornamental that dyes a full palette of color from yellows and greens to rusts and browns—and even black, depending on the combination of plant parts and mordants. Yellow 1½" cosmos-like flowers with reddish-brown centers top 2–4' branching stems flourish in full sun and make excellent cuts. The more you harvest, the more blooms will appear. Happily for dyers, you can dry the blooms to accumulate enough for a dye batch. Low-maintenance and rugged. Good for less cultivated areas such as open spaces, roadsides and borders, competes well with grasses and reseeds freely in optimal conditions. Tolerates drought. Direct seed outdoors after frost. ~2,200 seeds/g. ③
