Bastard Indigo

From LoveToKnow Garden

Bastard Indigo (Amorpha) - Hardy shrubs of the Pea, order, thriving in ordinary garden soil, but requiring a sheltered situation in bleak localities. Increased by layers or cuttings in autumn, or from suckers. A. canescens (the Lead Plant) is a native of Missouri. It has clusters of blue flowers and hoary leaves. A. fruticosa (the False Indigo) comes from California, and there are many forms of it, differing but slightly, all having bluish or dark purple flowers. I have not seen any good effects from these plants.
