The listing, Heirloom Native ✿ FALSE INDIGO ✿ 15 Seeds ✿ Organic has ended.

This is a beautiful, long-blooming perennial and host plant to the Clouded Sulfur Butterfly. This is a chance to sow seeds over winter & enjoy this beauty in your garden. They do reproduce well and even re-seed themselves if left to naturalize. Save decorative seed heads for dried arrangements or potpourri! They prefer a sunny site in well drained soil, but will bloom in part shade & have been drought tolerant in my yard. I believe the "strong shall survive" in my garden. You will appreciate my motto!

This Auction: You will be receiving 15 seeds from my garden. Please notice that this auction is NOT free shipping. I require a padded parcel for these seeds. Either they are more fragile or larger than the ¼” with padding that is required for parcel per USPS shipping rules. You only need to pay shipping for ONE of my auctions, as all other auctions for the week will be included FREE in the parcel. Parcel also includes a tracking number. These are difficult seeds to germinate. Not recommended for the beginner.

Propagation Method: Sow seeds shallow in soil 6 weeks before last spring frost. Sow 3-5 seeds per pot. About 10 days before the last spring frost, begin hardening the plants to the outdoors. Transplant your plants to a sunny location.
