Indigofera kirilowii Bernheim Agave clear white flowersWe've grown Indigofera kirilowii for nearly 30 years, and assumed it all looked about the same as the 18" tall form we grew oh, were we wrong. In 2014, when visiting the Cincinnati Zoo, Director of Horticulture, Steve Foltz, showed me their clone, which came from the late plantsman, Buddy Hubbuch, at Kentucky's Bernheim Arboretum. There it grew, 5' tall heart be still! Since Indigofera kirilowii has a huge range from outer Mongolia south into Japan
