Finely ground marigold flower petals

(tagetes erecta)

Finely ground pure marigold petals that have been removed from the seed heads. The fine grind turns the petals into a luxurious gold powder. Use this to set up a potent immersion dye bath or for your bundle dyeing and eco-printing experiments.

Be sure to check out all of our new marigold options this year! We have whole marigold flowers, marigold garlands, and marigold petal confetti for eco-printing experiments.

Available in 30 and 60 gram packets.

Grown, harvested, and cured by Sara here in southwestern Colorado on Ancient Future Farm. Our family has been tending this land and soil with regenerative growing methods since 2005. Our soil is nurtured through extensive cover cropping and our crops are fertilized with compost that we make right here on site. We never use synthetic chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or fungicides. Our dye flowers are harvested every day by hand when they reach their optimal potential and then carefully cured in our curing room out of direct sunlight. All of our natural dyestuffs are packaged in heat sealed envelopes to keep them fresh. For best results we recommend using them within a year.
