Wild Indigo Canvas Print

$64.00$664.00

Also known as “rattle weed” and “rattle bush,” wild blue indigo is shrub-like and grows 2 to 4 feet high from a woody base. Its nicknames come from the seed pods that form after flowering. Flowers are blue-violet and pea-like, similar to bread root (same family!), and condensed upright terminal spikes that are 4-16 inches long. Members of the pea family harbor microorganisms in their root system that produce nitrogen necessary for the plant’s survival. Leaves are divided into three leaflets (trifoliate). If a stem is broken, it will release sap that turns dark blue upon contact with air. The genus name Baptisia is derived from the greek “bapto”, meaning “to immerse”, in reference to the plant’s use in creating dyes for cloth. The specific name australis is Latin for “southern.” Indigenous folks used root tea as an emetic and a poultice to help with inflammation.

This is a matte giclee print made with archival inks with a professional printer.

All prints are made-to-order.

Border and Framing: Rolled prints come with no border, ready for a traditional frame of your choosing. Prints are also available stretched over a frame with or without a hardwood float frame.

Processing time: Please allow for 7-10 days for processing of rolled prints. Stretched and stretched + framed options require an extra 2-3 weeks for processing.

Please email me for alternative sizing needs or a mockup of what the piece would look like in your space!

We offer hand made custom frames constructed from natural wood of your choice. Click on the photos below to open and preview the frame options.

All orders will be shipped in 3-10 business days via USPS Priority mail, UPS or FedEx, depending on the size of the item and whether framing was desired. For medium to larger works, and if crating is needed to safely ship, it will be UPS or FedEX. USPS can ship larger works but it is a lot more expensive!

If I anticipate framing will take longer for any reason, I will reach out and let you know! You will receive a tracking number via email once the work has shipped.

If you are in the Fargo-Moorhead area and wish to pick it up, please select STUDIOPICKUP at checkout. I will have a table in the front lobby with your piece labeled for pick-up between the hours of 8 AM and 5 PM. I will always try to say hello if I am in the studio!
