Indigofera 'Rose Carpet'

Overview

Indigo (Indigofera 'Rose Carpet') is a low-growing, compact, evergreen shrub that can spread up to 3 feet wide. It grows quickly, with cascading clusters of pink to deep purple flowers which appear in varying shades throughout its blooming season. This drought-tolerant plant is easy to care for, requiring sunlight and well-draining soil. It makes an excellent groundcover for an area in need of some bright color, offering fantastic curb appeal. When the flowers adorn the carpet-like foliage for much of the year, indigo is an excellent choice for a low-maintenance, colorful garden.
