Wild Indigo, Yellow
 
This cheerful, easy-to-grow perennial tolerates a range of soil and light conditions, although full sun is best for blooming.  Bees and butterflies swarm this plant, which also is a larval host to the Wild Indigo Duskywing.
 
Yellow Wild Indigo tends to leaf out and become bushier after flowering -- showing off its distinctive and attractive blue-green foliage.  Flowers generally appear after two or three years of growing.
 
Yellow Wild Indigo is a great addition to a pollinator or butterfly garden.
