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. These plants are pretty slow growing, taking an number of years to reach flowering size. Once they 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.

Cream Wild Indigo grows in sandy, dry areas or open woods; its deep tap root gives it protection from the drought and prairie fires of its native ground.

As a member of the nitrogen-fixing legume family, indigo makes an excellent choice for soil that needs replenishment of its nutrients.
