Seed crop is looking good. I will know more if I have enough to sell in Jan/Feb 2020.
This picture gives you an idea of one year old plants versus two year old plants. This year I will definitely keep them safe from killing frosts. Leave room to grow. I have digging armadillos hence the Fort Indigo.
Deb, I will definitely be looking for seed. I went out the other day & some critter had eaten the flowers on my Japanese indigo & the perennial barely Made it through the draught So I doubt it will get blooms before frost.

I had no idea the plants got so large! I have to laugh at the need to defend against marauding armadillos, although I am sure they are no joke. Its just such a Texan problem. Here in Washington we have the much more common Deer Buffet and must build our own forts in defense.

Yeah, we don’t do dogs so the armadillos dig for grubs. They’ve ravaged a madder bed. Next year= maddergates.

Hi Deb Would you be able to send seeds to the UK? I would like to have a go at growing in my greenhouse. Winters tend to be mild these days so I think plants would survive the winter.

We’ll have to look into the country shipping laws. I don’t think I can.

It would be great if you will have seeds. I live in Hawaii and it should grow well in this climate. The Japanese indigo grows well here but it would be great to have a perennial

I do have some, they will be on my Etsy store towards the end of Feb. I will post the link on my blog when they are ready.
