Indigo Bush

Amorpha fructicosa

In the United States: Native · also called indigo bush, false indigo-bush, desert false indigo

Honeybees forage on indigo bush for its rich nectar and nutritious pollen, supporting colony health and contributing to a specialized honey flow. Peak bloom aligns with late spring to early summer (May-July), providing a reliable resource during early season dearth. As a nitrogen-fixing shrub, it thrives in moist soils but can become invasive in some western regions, so verify local status before planting.
