Indigofera hebepetala Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Requires a light or medium well-drained soil and a sunny position[11, 200]. Succeeds on chalk[11]. Except in warm sheltered gardens the plant is cut back to the ground by winter cold, though it usually resprouts from the base and flowers in late summer[182]. Plants grow much taller in milder climates where they do not get cut back by winter cold[1]. 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 hebepetala gardening information |
