Indigo - French Indigo (Indigofera Tinctoria) True Indigo - Non GMO - Flower


Indigofera tinctoria is a deciduous, leguminous shrub known for its historical significance in the world of natural dyes. This plant is native to tropical and subtropical regions, and its leaves are the source of the prized indigo pigment used for dyeing textiles. The plant typically reaches a height of 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) and is characterized by pinnate, green leaves and small, pink to purple pea-like flowers. The true indigo plant plays a crucial role in traditional textile dyeing processes, especially in countries like India and other parts of Asia.

**Growing Instructions:**
1. **Climate:** True indigo thrives in warm, tropical, and subtropical climates. It requires full sun to grow well.

2. **Soil:** Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH level. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

3. **Propagation:** True indigo can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Soak the seeds for a day before sowing to aid germination.

4. **Planting:** Plant the seeds or cuttings in the desired location after the last frost has passed. Space them about 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60 cm) apart.

5. **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. Once established, true indigo is somewhat drought-tolerant.

6. **Pruning:** Prune the plant to promote bushier growth and encourage more leaf production.

7. **Harvesting:** Leaves are typically harvested when the plant is about a year old. To extract the indigo pigment, the leaves are fermented and processed.

8. **Pest and Disease Management:** True indigo is relatively pest and disease-resistant. However, watch out for aphids and other common garden pests.

9. **Winter Care:** In regions with cold winters, protect the plant from freezing temperatures by moving it indoors or providing adequate insulation.

Cultivating Indigofera tinctoria can be a rewarding endeavor for those interested in natural dye production or simply as an attractive addition to a garden. It connects you to the rich history of indigo dyeing, which has been an integral part of textile traditions around the world.

  • Full sun exposure for optimal growth and vibrant leaf coloration.
  • Well-draining soil with good organic content. A slightly acidic to neutral pH level is ideal for this plant.
  • Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date.
  • Plant seeds approximately 1/4 inch deep in warm soil.
  • Transplant seedlings into 1 in cells or 2 in pots when they reach the 1 to 2 leaf stage.
  • Note: if the seedlings become leggy due to insufficient light, burying more of the stem during transplantation is permissible, as it will develop roots along the buried portion without hampering growth.
  • Germination: typically within 7 to 14 days, depending on conditions.
  • Hardening Off: Before transplanting outdoors, harden off the plants for 4 to 5 days after the risk of frost has passed to acclimate them to outdoor conditions.
  • Spacing: 24 to 36 in apart.
  • Matures: 50 to 55 days, at which point you can begin harvesting the leaves for dye extraction.
  • Harvesting Seeds: when the flowers go brown they can be cut and hung up or laid out to dry - some of the seed will fall out - the remainder can then be rubbed out. Separating the seeds from the chaff: once you have removed the seeds and dried flower material from the stalks, place the whole lot in a tray and shake from side to side and all of the heavy seeds will settle to the bottom - if you are careful you can blow lightly on the pile of chaff from the top and remove more chaff. Some of the seed will retain an outer layer of brown chaff bound to the seed; this does not impair germination. Store in a cool dry place until use. R

Nope, not for Murphy the alligator hunter! 🐊🙄
Color: grass-green, Color: grass-green
Murphy, our 75 pound lab, loves to chew. We can’t give him anything soft or even anything remotely made for casual play as he chews them to pieces- literally. So when I saw this cute little alligator, with fairly good reviews, I bought it with high expectations. Nope. It didn’t have a chance- It’s in the garbage. ☹️ First I have to comment on the eyes. I don’t know what they are made of, but the “whites” of the eyes pealed off like paint within the first few minutes Murphy had it. He wasn’t even chewing at the eyes; they just pealed off. I can’t imagine that is good for dogs to ingest, but ok, I threw the white pieces away, and gave it back to him. I do have to say that he loved chewing on it- even without adding any kind of treat to it. So we watched him chew at it for about 30-40 minutes without it being dissected into a million different parts. I was impressed.... Until I took it away from him to be played with later.... during this time he was able to tear parts of the mouth (see pictures), and while all pieces are still in tact, I cannot imagine another 30 minutes of him having this in one piece. So, while I’m very aware that Murphy has limited toys to chew on, I will continue my search for indestructible toys for his chewing pleasure.

Cute toy maybe not for aggressive chewers
Color: grass-green
I bought this because I have an 3 1/2 yr old golden doodle. She tears every toy apart within half hour of having it. The only toys she hasn’t is Kong toys. This is a cute toy. She was shredding pieces off the rubber with half hour of chewing it:( I thought it was very similar to the material of Kong toys? She loves chewing it and playing with it but I probably would not buy it for really aggressive large dogs who tear up toys.

My lab loved it too much, too fast…
Color: blue, Color: blue
It arrived an hour ago and my lab has it in pieces within minutes. It kept him busy for a bit though! I’ll give it to him again but I’ll have to sit with him, for sure. No squeak? I guess he just didn’t get to that part of the toy. It felt sturdy but ultimately didn’t pass the test.
