Indigofera australis

Indigofera australis, or Austral Indigo, is a graceful, fast-growing shrub native to Australia, commonly found in woodlands, grasslands, and along riverbanks. Growing up to 2 meters tall, it features soft, fern-like green foliage and stunning sprays of pink to mauve pea-shaped flowers that bloom in spring and early summer, creating a vibrant and delicate display.

This adaptable shrub thrives in well-drained soils and tolerates full sun to partial shade, as well as drought and frost conditions. Performs well in tough conditions of dry shade under a tree. Austral Indigo is often used in native gardens, habitat restoration projects, and erosion control.

With its striking purple to maeve flowers, ecological benefits, and resilience, Indigofera australis is a versatile and appealing addition to sustainable landscapes, native plantings, and biodiversity-focused projects.
