Native to the streambanks and woodlands of central and southern China, it grows into an airy, see-through shrub with elegant grey-green pinnate foliage, followed by slender dark purple seed pods as the season closes. A genuinely outstanding plant for the border that combines extraordinary floral longevity with graceful, light structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardy and low maintenance, Pink-Flower Indigo fixes nitrogen as a legume and thrives on lean soil in full sun to light shade. It may die back in hard winters but resprouts reliably from the base each spring. A hard cut to 30–45 cm in late winter encourages denser, more floriferous growth through the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring, Autumn\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scarify seeds; soak in water 24 hours before sowing in a cold frame or indoors\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120–150 cm apart; spreads to 1.8–2.4 m wide\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.8–2.4 m tall and wide; airy and open in habit\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14–21 days; scarification essential for best results\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e November through to April in New Zealand; one of the longest-blooming hardy shrubs available\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttracts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bees and pollinating insects\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e50 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rasmussen Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58398536630575,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/4098\/4879\/files\/Pink-Flower_Indigo_-_Indigofera_amblyantha_50_seeds.png?v=1788149464","url":"https:\/\/rasmussengardens.co.nz\/products\/pink-flower-indigo-indigofera-amblyantha-50-seeds","provider":"Rasmussen Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
