A closer look – The plant in detail
Wild indigo is a perennial herbaceous plant from the legume family. The plant originates in North America but is now successfully cultivated in Central Europe. Wild Indigo can reach a height of up to one meter. The plant owes its name “indigo” to the deep blue leaf dye, which was used by the indigenous people of North America to dye clothing. A typical feature of this plant is its ability to thrive well in challenging environments. Thus, the plant with its small flowers grows in dry, sandy soils and is often found in deciduous and coniferous forests.
