Indigo Bush is a thicket-forming native deciduous shrub with a spreading habit and velvety, spine-tipped pinnate foliage that turns yellow in fall.  Long racemes densely packed with fragrant deep purple flowers bloom from late spring into summer, attracting butterflies.  Best performance in moist to wet well-drained soils.  Can tolerate sandy, poor, wet, and dry soils.

Amorpha fruticosa is a host plant for several pollinators, including; California & southern dogfaces, Silver-spotted Skipper, Gray hairstreak, and Hoary edge skipper.  Learn more about planting for butterflies with Georgia natives with this brochure.
