Amorpha Flowering Shrub
Amorpha Flowering Shrub
Amorpha Canescens Flowering Shrub
Lead Plant. Missouri, 1812. This is of much smaller growth than Amorpha fruticosa, with neat pinnate foliage, whitened with hoary down, and bearing panicles of bluish-purple flowers, with conspicuous orange anthers. It is a charming shrub, and all the more valuable as it flowers at the end of summer, when few hardy plants are in bloom. To grow it satisfactorily a dry, sandy soil is a necessity.
Amorpha Fruticosa Flowering Shrub
False Indigo. Carolina, 1724. This is a fast growing shrub of fully 6 feet high, of loose, upright habit, and with pretty pinnate leaves. The flowers are borne in densely packed spikes, and are of a purplish tint with bright yellow protruding anthers and produced at the end of summer. It prefers a dry, warm soil of a sandy or chalky nature, and may readily be increased from cuttings or suckers, the latter being freely produced.
Hard cutting back when full size has been attained would seem to throw fresh vigour into the Amorpha, and the flowering is greatly enhanced by such a mode of treatment. A native of Carolina, and perfectly hardy in most parts of the country. Of this species there are several varieties, amongst others, Amorpha fruticosa nana, a dwarf, twiggy plant; Amorpha fruticosa dealbata, with lighter green foliage than the type; and others differing only in the size and width of the leaves.
