  • Natural Dyes from Flowers: A Color Guide
    Many flowers are used as dyes! It depends on what color you're looking for. Here are a few examples:

    * Red: Roses, hibiscus, madder root (technically a root, but often used like a flower)

    * Blue: Indigo (actually a plant, but used like a flower), cornflower, chicory

    * Yellow: Marigolds, calendula, safflower

    * Purple: Violets, iris, lavender

    * Green: Clover, spinach (also a vegetable)

    It's important to note that the color and intensity of the dye can vary depending on the species of flower, the method of extraction, and the fabric being dyed.
