It’s best planted in its own dedicated bed so that you can harvest the roots easily later on. it is a herbaceous perennial plant, meaning the foliage will die back over winter and roots stay alive. Ideally, this dye plant is harvest 4 years after seed sowing - when roots have reached a pencil-thick size. The dye produces amazing red and pinks.
