A pretty garden *and* a completely magical and easy craft project. All of the plants in this garden are super easy to use as dyes. Fun! Clever! Nature! Fashion!

 How to Plant |
Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Fill a little bit of the loose dirt back into the hole and tuck your plant in so the base of the stem is even with the top of the hole. Now fill in the rest of the soil around the roots, give the soft ground around the base of your new plant friend a few solid pats to compress the soil onto the roots, and a long, gentle drink of water |
 Where to Plant |
Find a place in the sun or part shade, with well-draining soil |
 When to Plant |
Plant outside in the spring, after your last frost. Avoid the heat of the day when planting — plant in the early morning, late afternoon, or by the light of the moon |
 When to Expect Blooms |
Spring through frost |
 Care Instructions |
Water as needed, and deadhead to encourage more blooms and for a tidier look |
 Extra Credit |

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
What a great kit! I’m interested. This might be a silly question, but can we plant them in the ground? Zone 7b. And will they service the shipping all the way to Georgia state?
Absolutely! Plants are always down to go in the ground, with very few exceptions! We ship anywhere in the lower 48.
