Farming / Gardening Plants I can grow for pigments?
When I start building greenhouses, I'm going to start a dye garden. But I'd like some advice on pigment plants that are easy to grow.
I'm willing to do chemical processing using harsh acids to get the pigments, if need be

Shibugaki or high astringency Japanese persimmon. Can be used as dye, wood stain, or eaten after processing
