Herbaceous perennial ranging from 3 to 4 feet in height, Blue Wild Indigo produces indigo colored flowers from May to June. The flower shape and nectar content make them attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. Black-Capped Chickadee eat the seeds. While a high number of species of caterpillar (which are a major source of food for birds) are known to eat Blue Wild Indigo leaves.
