These seeds are from our tiny indigo farm at our house in Oakland, California. They have been grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. We hand picked and cleaned the seeds carefully for the best germination rate. We usually start our seeds indoors in the beginning of March but some will volunteer in the garden as early at January in Oakland! We grow the plants to three feet tall and cut down the plant to six inches from the ground. At this point we harvest and dry or use the leaves fresh for dye. We will get two harvests and one last harvest of seeds. This is a great addition to your dye garden!
