Amorpha nana

Common Name: Dwarf False Indigo

Pot Size: 1 g

Native to the Midwestern United States, this compact, drought-tolerant shrub with bright green foliage is adorned in summer with dense clusters of grape-purple flowers accented by red stamens. Its sweetly scented blooms attract pollinators, while its leaves serve as a host for Silver Spotted Skipper caterpillars. Best suited to dry prairies, rocky slopes, and other well-drained sites, though it grows poorly in sandy soils.
