False indigo is a moderately fast growing shrub that is sometimes used for shoreline and riverbank stabilization. It can reach heights of 4-10’, likes full sun or light shade and thrives in moist soils that are poorly drained. It also performs well on silt loam soil to dry sands. It prefers sandy soil and is a legume, so it can extract nitrogen from the air and enrich poor soil. False indigo is good for establishing wildlife food and cover on upland sites.
