It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 25 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara2\"\u003eThis plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist growing conditions, but will not tolerate any standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is not particular as to soil type, but has a definite preference for alkaline soils, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This species is native to parts of North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"NetPS-Clear\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"27 VN 25","offers":[{"title":"5.5\"G","offer_id":38137382142132,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0205\/4654\/products\/BlueFalseIndigo.jpg?v=1613684299","url":"https:\/\/www.calgaryplants.com\/products\/blue-false-indigo","provider":"Calgary Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
