Wildflowers - Indigo Seeds

Indigo is so named because of the indigo dye that can be made from parts of this native plant. The flowers in the Baptisia family are not all blue, different species come in colors of white, yellow, and cream. Indigo seeds are pretty slow growing, taking an number of years to reach flowering size. Once the wildflower seed packets are established, they are very long-lived - some plants lasting for decades. We had a field planted in Cream Wild Indigo for seed production that was still going strong almost 20 years later! These plants are legumes, and not only have put on an early color show in the spring, but their unique green foliage is attractive throughout the rest of the growing season as well.
