Indigofera heterantha - 2012

Yes not for the feint hearted. I found that with both of my Indigofera tinctoria true Indigo, (got them as trees) grew so fast and could not support the weight of the branches that broke off. Had them both cut to the ground and they just grew again. But they are lovely. Do you find these are less vigorous and more manageable Andrew.

Well it certainly puts on a lot of growth every year. I cut to within one bud of the old growth, otherwise it would get completely out of hand. I think I might follow your example soon and cut it to the ground one year

You are so right, mine finally flowered too...thought I lost it as nothing was happening till about June..

Worth it though Michaella, as they flower for at least a couple of months then.
