Indigofera ‘Australian Indigo’

Indigofera australis

Australian Indigo is a lovely ornamental shrub which is also a good plant for wildlife, being a good nectar and food source for butterflies. It will flower through Spring, with spires of pink to purple blooms. Growing to around 2 metres tall and wide, it can take neglect and some frost and drought. The foliage and stems can be used for natural dyes, and give a soft yellow colour. Great for low maintenance gardens. Drought tolerant.
