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

Decent quality for the price
Color: Grey
Decent quality for the price. Other privacy screens were extremely out of my budget, but this looks and works just fine- I just needed something simple to place behind my couch to hide some clutter. It took me about a half hour to assemble, but it was easy enough. It might be due to my carpeting, but I don't trust that the screen would be stable enough to stand freely without falling. Thankfully my plan all along was to wedge the screen between the couch and a box of clutter anyway, so for me it works as l'd planned!

Overpriced but effective.
Color: Cream
I happened to get lucky and get a warehouse deal at an additional 30% discount. Even at $25, it feels a little overpriced. But it was easy to assemble and serves its purpose. If you line the Velcro up exactly, the panels sag, if you stretch past even, but where it still grips, they look pretty ok. It is very light and does fold very compact for easy storage.

Great price for a great product
Color: Coal Black
Excellent quality and great price to boot. Easy to assemble and folds up easily to be stored. We are using it as a privacy screen when we have company that needs to sleep on the couch and also to block off a hallway leading to a guest suite. It looks great and is as described in the ad

No.
Color: Coal Black, Color: Coal Black
This was horribly made and a nightmare to put together. You have to basically bend the bars to get the coverings attached. The sizes don't match. The stickers that label the parts are impossible to remove and if you do get them off theres a lot of residue left behind. On top of that once it was put together I noticed theres a big dirty foot print on it which is definitely not mine.

You have to add weight to it
Color: Coal Black
It does its job and it was easy to put together but it's a little on the flimsy side and it will easily be knocked down. So you're going to have to figure out a way to make the legs heavier? I used cinder blocks, single cinder blocks and it works just fine. Just know that it will knock over super easy
