Plants form an upright clump of deeply-cut green leaves, bearing spikes of blue-edged white flowers in mid-summer. May need staking in early summer. An outstanding cut flower. Plants prefer a site that will not dry out, away from thirsty tree roots. In hot summer areas this will need protection from afternoon sun. Full to part sun.

Indigofera tinctoria

Indigofera tinctoria, commonly called true indigo, is a deciduous spreading tropical shrub or subshrub of the pea family that typically grows to 2-3’ tall and as wide. As suggested by the common name, this shrub was the original source of the blue dye known as indigo. It is probably native to China, tropical Asia and parts of Africa, but the specific location is not entirely clear because this shrub has been in cultivation since at least 4000 BC with introduction and naturalization taking place in many places around the world before good records were kept. It became a cash crop in the Southeastern U.S. in the 1700s where it has now naturalized in some areas. Leaves of this plant contain indican. Dye is obtained by fermentation of the leaves which converts the indican into the blue dye indigotin.

True indigo features light green pinnate leaves (each with 4 to 7 pairs of leaflets) and short racemes of summer-blooming pink or violet flowers. Flowers are followed by seed pods (to 2” long).

Laburnum x watereri 'Vossii'

Golden Raintree boasts spectacular color from long, drooping clusters of lightly fragrant, bright yellow flowers! This very attractive garden tree has an upright base with a beautiful spreading canopy and bluish-green foliage. A great choice for use as a single specimen or for a group planting. Flowering is most prolific in cooler summer regions. Deciduous. “Vossii” is said to be sterile and not to produce the legume pods. Heat intolerance seems to be its major adaptational challenge. Locations where it receives afternoon shade are best or next to the north or east wall of a structure. All parts of the Golden Raintree are toxic.

Leucadendron galpinii ‘Silver Cone’

Member of the protea family, this shrub is native to South Africa. We are trialing it here in Atlanta because it is cold hardy to about 20F. Ensure free draining soil. We love the silver foliage and the silver cones are lovely and long lasting in a floral arrangement.
