Pretty! I have not seen the white flowering plant.

The Wild Blue Indigo was traditionally used as a dye. I've never read whether or not the White Indigo was used in the same manner. There are a number of varieties of Baptisia but the only ones I've seen locally are the blue & white.

Very Pretty Is the plant used for dye or is that just a name?
