Indigo - Himalayan

Himalayan Indigo - INDIGOFERA heterantha

Zone 5-9. Sun-P.Shade.

Perennial Very tough and very beautiful, deciduous pea shrub with rose-purple flowers from May through frost. Great nitrogen fixer for the garden. Grows quickly to 5 ft wide and high, but can be kept much smaller through the growing season and even cut to the base in late winter to refresh. It blooms on new wood so it gets bonus points from us. Sun to part shade with little summer water necessary once established.
