Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, False Indigo is drought-tolerant and requires minimal care. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the crown to prevent rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFalse Indigo is slow to establish but rewards patience with decades of blooms. Avoid disturbing the roots once planted. In late winter or early spring, cut back old foliage to ground level before new growth emerges. Divide plants only if necessary, as they resent root disturbance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 False Indigo bare root plants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739749286198,"sku":"EDNA-153","price":105.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8093732606_lbw8.jpg?v=1792114987","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/3-false-indigo-bare-root-plants-baptisia-perennial-wildflower-for-pollinator-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
