Plant Care
False Indigo is remarkably low-maintenance once established. This drought-tolerant plant develops a deep taproot system that makes it incredibly resilient and self-sufficient. Deadheading is not necessary, though removing spent flower stalks can improve appearance. The plant requires minimal division and actually prefers to remain undisturbed.
After blooming, attractive seed pods develop, providing winter interest and architectural structure to the garden. The plant is deer and rabbit resistant, making it an excellent choice for natural gardens. Disease and pest problems are rare, contributing to its reputation as a trouble-free perennial.
Planting Instructions
Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 3-4 feet apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown.
While False Indigo may take 2-3 years to reach full maturity, its slow growth results in a strong, long-lived specimen. Young plants should be watered regularly during their first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system.
