Isatis tinctoria


Traditional dye plant, the leaves in the first year produce the blue colour once used during battle as a face paint to scare off the enemy, think Rob Roy. Nowadays used to dye fabrics and wool.  Wode has beautiful tall yellow airy flower sprays. Plant this year to get a good strong root established and it will flower next year, if allowed to self seed you will have a lovely patch of woad in your garden.
