We assigned it the cultivar name Indigofera kirilowii 'Christo' to distinguish it from the other forms appearing in the market. The 18\" tall, upright pea-foliaged stems arise from a slow-moving (NOT INVASIVE) rhizome. In good soils, expect a 6-8' wide patch in 20 years.

In 2014, when visiting the Cincinnati Zoo, Director of Horticulture, Steve Foltz, showed me their clone, which came from the late plantsman, Buddy Hubbuch, at Kentucky's Bernheim Arboretum. There it grew, 5' tall...heart be still! Since Indigofera kirilowii has a huge range from outer Mongolia south into Japan and Korea, it is obvious the plant didn't know to conform to reference books. We are thrilled to share plants of this exciting new form that we've christened Indigofera kirilowii 'Bernheim'. The slowly colonizing woody stalks are clothed during the growing season with light green robinia-like foliage and adorned in April and May (NC), with an abundance of pendant, pink, pea-like flower clusters.
