Indigofera szechuensis is a non-climbing shrub from the mountains of Tibet and central China, growing up to about 2.5 m. It is a hardy garden plant that needs full sun and well-drained soil.
Indigofera szechuensis (syn. Indigofera potaninii) is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to Tibet and central China. It is typically found growing on slopes, along trails, and on streambanks at 2,500–3,800 m (8,200–12,500 ft) above sea level. It is a non-climbing shrub reaching 2.5 m (8 ft).
It is the namesake of a species complex that also includes Indigofera calcicola, I. delavayi, I. franchetii, I. hancockii, I. lenticellata, I. pendula, and I. rigioclada. Most of what is cultivated in the United Kingdom as Indigofera potaninii is actually Indigofera howellii.
