Common Questions

Q

Are false indigo plants invasive or aggressive spreaders?

A

False indigo, is not classified as invasive. Nonetheless, it can self-seed and gradually expand to cover a specific area.

Q

How can I use false indigo in the landscape and with what other plants?

A

Excellent companion plants for false indigo are late spring bloomers such as peonies, spiky plants like salvia, and tall alliums. This plant is a wonderful choice for wildlife gardens as it attracts various butterfly species. To support its growth, position it among other plants to prevent the branches from sprawling under the weight of the flowers and seed pods.

Q

Do I need to deadhead my plants?

A

If you do not remove the faded flowers, your false indigo plant will produce appealing seed pods resembling pea pods that darken and rustle in the wind. To avoid this, simply trim back your false indigo plant lightly after it has finished flowering.
