The plant you are describing in Indigo, prized throughout the world and the source of Royal purple worn by the crowned heads of Europe. It was grown in South Carolina, first brought to that colony from the island of Antigua by Eliza Lucas who first raised it on her father's plantation Wapoo near the present city of Charleston. Indigo was so valuble that between the rice and indigo Charleston became for a short while the richest city in the colonies.
