The plant has purplish-blue flowers in small clusters. The roots vary in diameter from 0.2-1.5 cm, the external surface is brown, longitudinally wrinkled and grooved and somewhat warty. A whitish coloured wood and thick bark cover the root.

Wild indigo likes to grow in dry, hilly woods. It is native to eastern parts of North America. It grows from North Carolina to Southern Canada.
