False Indigo Shrub

Indigofera

Indigofera pseudotinctoria full sun  partial shade

Originating in China and Japan, this delicately textured diminutive subshrub is little known and sadly underused. Reminiscent of upside down Wisteria flowers, vivid rose-pink pea-shaped blooms densely pack two or three in. long racemes amid airy, bright green foliage from midsummer ‘til frost, enticing us with their lavish, incessant display. Finely divided, small rounded leaflets lighten to a soft yellow as fall approaches, and, along with the stems, die back completely in cold weather.

Bursting forth with a spirited vitality come spring, the strong shoots form a lacy clump that endures drought, appreciates well drained soil and brings colorful elegance to Nepeta ‘Pool Bank’s tall lavender-blue spires.

Blooms July–October.

Size: 2'–3' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 5.

Indigofera pseudotinctoria (S-0633)

Customer Comment:

“I ordered three Kniphofias and a Salvia a little over a week ago, and received them today. E-mail response to my web order was prompt and provided all the information I needed. The Kniphofias are nice, healthy, generous divisions. The Salvia is…good value for the price and very healthy.”
