Rhythm Seed Farm

Madder

Madder

Perennial. Rubia tinctorum

30 seeds per packet. 

World renowned dye plant for natural dyeing. The pigment in the roots make a gorgeous red color, famous since ancient times. Perennial plants are harvested every 3-4 years for their roots, and the crowns are replanted to grow for another few years until they are harvested again. Sprawling and velcro-esque foliage that grabs onto things and climbs a bit, but has a tendency to spread out. Great understory/companion plant in any guild.
