Julius Caesar called this herb 'vitrum' and tells of the Britons, who frighteningly smeared themselves with the blue dye extracted from woad. It blooms on 1-meter long stalks with small yellow flowers. When ripe and developing seeds, it makes an interesting dried flower. It occurs (though rarely) in the wild.
