False indigo's genus name, "Amorpha," comes from a Greek word meaning "without shape," referring to the unusual shape of the blossoms.

False indigo is a native, loose shrub with attractive, sweet scented foliage; also, since it comes from the legume family, it provides soil with high amounts of valuable nitrogen. Because this plant adapts well to dry, poor soil and high wind, its usual function is to prevent erosion or act as a windbreak. False indigo thrives in the wild across most of the United States, growing naturally along streams or in marshes.Starting at $2.50 USD -
