Amorpha canescens
Perennial (USDA zones 7-10). Looking almost tropical, this silvery shrub-like plant has beautiful violet blue flowers accented with striking orange stamens that attract butterflies. Very adaptable to moisture and various soil types, it is extremely drought tolerant once established and adds beneficial nitrogen to garden soils. Grows like a perennial but takes on woody characteristics as it ages.
Full sun. Blooms early summer to midsummer
Height: 3' - 4' tall
Days to Emerge: 7 - 60 Days
Seed Depth: 1/4"
Seed Spacing: A group of 8 seeds every 2'
Thinning: When 2" tall, thin to 1 every 2'
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost or as soon as the soil can be worked, or in fall for germination the following spring.
When to start inside: 12 to 16 weeks before average last frost.
Special germination instructions: Germination improves if seed is scarified or receives a cold treatment. See inside of packet for detailed information.

WHAT IS A NATIVE?
Native North American plants are indigenous plants that evolved naturally in their ecosystem without introduction. They often tolerate greater swings in water availability, have deep root systems that prevent water runoff and soil erosion and require little or no fertilizer or pest control. They also provide food for butterflies, insects, birds, and other valuable pollinators.
