Question: Last year in one of your columns, you mentioned a dye for palm fronds that have turned brown because of frost. Could you please advise me where to find this?
These paints and dyes are typically used on turfgrass by professionals. I have seen products used to color turfgrass in retail nurseries here, but typically not in garden centers.
Try calling a couple of retail nurseries to ask if they carry paints or dyes for turfgrass, or they may call them turfgrass colorants. Stay away from colorants used as markers. Markers are for identifying where sprays, such as insecticides or herbicides, have been applied and usually are a blue-green in color. They won't damage the plants, but they may look a little psychedelic.
