Description:
A long-lived native perennial with striking spikes of deep blue, pea-like flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

Blue Wild Indigo is an excellent choice for native gardens, pollinator habitats, and low-maintenance landscapes.

- Water regularly during establishment, then only during prolonged drought
- Leave seed pods for winter interest or cut back in late winter
