(P) to 3′. Kirilow’s Indigo. Korea, northern China, southern Japan. A suckering deciduous subshrub featuring compound, pinnate, bright green leaves and rose-pink, pea-like flowers arranged in dense racemes. Graceful Wisteria-like blooms and fine-textured foliage make for a showy display from early to midsummer with intermittent rebloom through autumn. The bright green foliage turns a golden yellow in fall. Performs well in mixed borders or as a foundation plant. Hard winters may kill stems to the ground, but the plant blooms reliably on new growth each season. Sun. 2B & 3, D & T2
