A low-growing relative of the two other Indigofera species we grow – similar in appearance if you ignore its small stature. Its lowliness makes it just right for covering ground or spreading across some rocks. Once it found a place it liked in our rock garden, it has been nicely hardy. As with other indigoferas, it is late to leaf out in spring.
