Product description

False Indigo Seeds produce Blue Wild Indigo, a hardy perennial valued for its upright growth and seasonal flower spikes. This plant forms a shrub-like clump with blue to violet blooms in late spring, followed by decorative seed pods. It is well adapted to a range of soil types and performs reliably in prairies, borders, and naturalized landscapes. False Indigo develops a deep taproot, allowing it to tolerate periods of dry weather once established. It is suitable for meadow plantings, pollinator gardens, and long-term perennial beds.
