dye! dye! dye! dye!
Although I'm not aware of any 'indigo' colored plants ('blue jean' or denim blue), there are some which produce naturally blue flowers: agapanthus, bachelor buttons, iris, corn flower, violets to name a few. The actual indigo plant is green, and through a process of fermentation, it produces the dark, intense indigo blue dye.

Indigo itself is not considered poisonous; it is a natural dye derived from the indigo plant. However, some plants in the Fabaceae family that produce indigo can contain toxic compounds. It's important to differentiate between the dye and the raw plant material, as ingestion of certain plant parts may pose health risks. Always consult a professional if unsure about the safety of specific plants.
indigo is obtained from plants it is used for making the cloth blue
The use of indigo, which is a dye that can come from at least 5 different plants, was first used in the 7th century, BC. The plants from which indigo dye came were most likely weeds. No one knows who may have started raising plants containing indigo, as it was so long ago. Today, man-made indigo dye (not from plants) is the color used in blue jeans.
No. It was a southern crop.
Manufacturers tend to use synthetic indigo for its cost-effectiveness, consistency in color, and reduced environmental impact compared to extracting natural indigo from plants. Synthetic indigo also tends to have better color fastness and wash durability in the finished product.
