White Wild Indigo

White Wild Indigo is known for its shrubby upright growth habit and dramatic spikes of pea-like, creamy white flowers in late spring. These flowers make a bold statement against the plant's blue-green, trifoliate leaves. Following the floral display, ornamental, black seed pods develop, adding interest throughout the summer and into fall. An excellent plant for structure in perennial borders, it also provides substantial ecological benefits, supporting a variety of native pollinators and birds.

• Drought-tolerant once established; water deeply occasionally, more frequently in extreme heat.
• Cut back to the ground in late fall or early winter to keep the plant tidy and encourage vigorous spring growth.
• Seedlings can be transplanted or thinned to manage the plant's spread and encourage a natural look.
