Indigofera kirilowii

This little-known hardy perennial stops gardeners in their tracks when they see its rose-pink wisteria-like bloom clusters. Pink Chinese Indigo flowers late spring through summer with its 6″ drooping racemes on 30″ somewhat woody stems. In zones 7 and north, all growth begins below ground each season. Performing best in light shade, its attractive compound leaves scorch lightly in southern full sun. With its spreading nature, Pink Chinese Indigo works great as a taller groundcover.
