Anthemis tinctoria

Dyer's chamomile glows vibrant like sunshine in the summer garden. The cheerful yellow blossoms of this perennial plant can be used as a natural dye. Extraction of the dried flowers results in a gorgeous yellow color, ranging from bright to warm depending on the dye method.

Dyer's chamomile likes full sun and dry to medium moisture. It can handle poor soils and drought once established. It can be a short-lived perennial but readily self-seeds, giving you a nice healthy crop year after year.
