It laughs at heat, sun, and pests

NAME: Indigofera (Indigofera amblyantha
Zone: 6 to 9
Size: 6 feet tall and 8 feet wide
Conditions: Full sun; moist, well-drained soil


This tall, arching, lacy- textured shrub loves heat and sun shuns most garden pests.
Spikes of pink flowers start in May and continue to bloom sporadically through much
of the summer. Although indigofera has a light, ethereal look, it is tough as nails and
benefits from being pruned to the ground each year.
