Description:
Easily grown in average, dry to medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Best in full sun in acidic, somewhat poor soils. Good drought tolerance. This false indigo hybrid is a shrubby perennial which typically grows 3 to 4.5' tall. Features smoky violet, lupine-like flowers and gray-green, clover-like foliage. Flowers appear in mid-spring, opening up from bottom to top in erect but slightly arching terminal racemes (to 1' long) which extend well above the foliage. Flowers give way to cylindrical, bean-like seed pods (to 2.5" long) which have good ornamental interest and are sometimes used in dried flower arrangements.
