Bring the deep, beautiful color of the American prairie to your garden with Blue Wild Indigo. This exceptionally long-lived and hardy native perennial is a true showstopper. In late spring, it sends up numerous tall, elegant spires of indigo-blue, lupine-like flowers that are a favorite of bumblebees. The attractive blue-green foliage looks great all season, and the plant forms a beautiful, vase-shaped clump. Historically, this was a valued plant for creating a natural blue dye.
