The interloper Common name false indigo Family fabaceae Life cycle perennial (Z4-8) Flowers violet - burgundy Light sun Hybrid between B. sphaerocarpa and B. australis, bred at the Chicago Botanic Garden. It combines some of the yellow coloration of the former (yellow flower bottoms) with the blue tones (but tending more toward purple/burgundy) of the latter. Ours is still small, came from a mail-order shipment - the first one they sent turned out to be a straight B. australis (or perhaps a 'Purple Smoke') specimen, so I asked for a replacement. I hope it will show its true colors next spring.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: front perennial border
