Description: Also known as woad - yes this is where the blue dye comes from. I saw this plant growing in the medieval cottage garden at the Weald and Downland open air museum in Singleton near Chichester (well worth a visit btw) It was the seed heads (dangling heads of flat greeny yellow pods) that attracted me at the time but I'm more than happy with its combination of acid yellow flowers and glaucous grey foliage, contrasting with the rich red anemones and white Narcissus in the front garden at the moment.
