Come and join me in the tropical garden where we are looking at the Henna plant, also known as Lawsonia Inermis. It is a tall shrub tree and is used to create the dye henna for skin as well as fabrics. There are also medicinal properties in the leaves that I will be looking into.
It is a lovely plant to have the flowers have a very sweet fragrance and I would love to have more of the plants dotted around the garden
The leaves are what is crushed and makes the dye. Check out the video above.
