It can be grown here from indigo plants indigenous to the Southwest, and thanks to the irrigation from ancient Hohokam canals... Or at least their concept.

The main thing is getting them through the one or two frosts we usually have in the winter.

I plan on growing indigenous cotton too, just in small amounts.
