This indigo shrub is a beautiful flowering shrub that eventually reaches a height of 150-250 cm. It produces beautiful clusters of violet-pink flowers, usually in the period June-July. The shrubs are not completely winter hardy, but after freezing, the plant will always simply sprout again. They prefer a sunny spot in good, well-draining soil. Since ancient times, the dye Indigo (dark blue) has been prepared from other members of this plant genus. This Tibetan Indigo shrub is especially loved for its beautiful appearance! The flowers are edible, by the way...
