Indigofera cassioides Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Requires a light or medium well-drained soil and a sunny position[11, 200]. Succeeds on chalk[11]. This species is not very hardy in Britain, it probably requires greenhouse protection in all parts of the country[200]. Plants are capable of regrowing from the base if they are cut back by winter cold, though we do not know at what temperature the roots of this plant are killed[K]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria, these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby[200]. For further Indigofera cassioides gardening information |
