NATURAL INDIGO
THE COLOUR THAT CONNECTS US
The fact that green plants can give us blue colours is something that never ceases to amaze us. We try to get to know as many kinds of blue as possible. From the natural indigo we sell and use in all our clothing, bedding and cloth: (indigofera tinctoria) which is grown and harvested in India, to the robust and remarkable persicaria tinctoria, which will thrive even when planted in our research garden in the Pacific Northwest.
