Wild Blue Indigo is a lovely plant that, for the first few years, works on developing its root system. By year two, it will grow into a small shrub that provides insects and birds with food and you with stunning flowers. Deep blue blooms in spring, and blue-grey foliage makes them perfect for flower arrangements. They like full sun and loamy, well-drained soil. Easy to grow.
Give them plenty of room for their 4' height and branching habit.
Another common name used is Blue False Indigo.
