Indigofera kirilowii full sun

Swaths of vivid green foliage and upright sprays of rose-pink, sweet-pealike blossoms recommend this marvelously adaptable, hardy Asian shrub or subshrub. Indigofera kirilowii’s brilliant greenery, composed of 7 to 11 rounded leaflets, is decorated by axillary 5 to 6 in. floral racemes in early summer and sometimes off and on until fall. Its dense, low suckering habit and alluring foliar textures make it a choice shrubby ground cover that can be contrasted to good effect with Ribes and Physocarpus ‘Summer Wine’.

Thriving in an array of soils, this Indigo can handle some drought, but will sulk in hot and humid summers. Appreciative of a late winter pruning, the stems may die to the ground only to return faithfully each spring.

Blooms late May–July.

Size: 2'–3' high x 2'–3' wide; hardy to zone 5.
