Indigo
A graceful shrub or small tree featuring delicate light green foliage and abundant clusters of soft pink to violet pea-shaped flowers through the warmer months. Native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Africa, Indigofera tinctoria has been cultivated for centuries as the original source of natural indigo dye.
Thriving in warm climates and full sun, this hardy, fast-growing plant is well suited to cottage gardens, productive landscapes, and informal hedging. Its airy foliage and masses of flowers attract bees and beneficial pollinators, while its drought tolerance and low-maintenance nature make it an excellent choice for sustainable gardens.
Plant in full sun with some afternoon shade in hot climates. Prefers well-draining and fertile soil. Will tolerate some drought once established but benefits from moderate watering during periods of growth and warmer months.
