You can also buy then from the uk at Saith Ffynnon Wildlife Plants. http://www.7wells.co.uk/natural-dye-plants-8-c.asp.<br />I am also about to sow my Japanese Indigo but I live in the South of France but near the mountains so I also have to be careful of early frosts.Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106807255439588963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-21751311432696839892011-02-03T09:48:17.252+02:002011-02-03T09:48:17.252+02:00Hi Nina,

I hope they are:)Leenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14266878515009058403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-13332452403168715232011-02-03T01:13:37.380+02:002011-02-03T01:13:37.380+02:00I tried putting the flowering cuttings in water.

How did you pollinate the plants? By the time my plants flower, there are no bees left outside because it is much too cold.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049476969325691637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-43176329025040430252011-01-31T16:44:49.883+02:002011-01-31T16:44:49.883+02:00Thanks wolmut and neki desu:)

They did flower but there wasn't any pollination. Indoor plants have almost died off now. I also swapped some seeds. Mine are the round leaved variety blossoming white (Wildfibers Uk) and Ms Busyfingers from Ravelry had loads of seeds from the pointy leaved pink blossoming variety. I hope to have lots of plants this year and really learn to grow them well.wolmutsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-27941724267443814152011-01-30T17:53:02.056+02:002011-01-30T17:53:02.056+02:00Thank you Ute and Mary Lena:)

The plants were growing in the south-east of France but at 900 meters altitude, winter always starts sooner here too. I tried, like you to grown a plant in a pot and bring it in the house but: no seeds !<br />I will try again next year.<br />In France you can buy seeds at: http://www.couleurgarance.com/<br />In French the plant is called: Persicaire à indigoMary Lenahttp://marylenalynx.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-70404901725711965982011-01-30T13:18:52.987+02:002011-01-30T13:18:52.987+02:00Dear Leena,
