Blue False Indigo or Wild Indigo is a unique clumping perennial in the bean family with smooth, rounded foliage and lovely blue flowers in spring. This plant slowly matures to 2-4’ wide by adding stalks each year to form a shrub like appearance. Your patience will pay off with multi season interest. The seed pods are highly ornamental if left standing for the winter.
Blue False Indigo is the host plant to several butterflies including the Clouded and Orange Sulphers, the Frosted Elfin, the Eastern Tailed Blue, and the Wild Indigo Duskywing
