Yellow False Indigo
Yellow False Indigo is an upright perennial native with longer raceme (18 in) covered in buttery-yellow flowers similar to lupines that extend above the mound of clover-like blue-green foliage in spring. The blooms give way to large seedpods that blacken when ripe, providing ornamental interest. Flowers best in full sun with dry to average well-drained acidic soils. Its abundant flowers are excellent pollination and butterfly attractors. Drought tolerant once established.
