Thanks to an enterprising young woman, the Lowcountry enjoyed a short but lucrative stint exporting Indigofera tinctoria—and the beautiful blue dye extracted from its leaves—before the plant all but disappeared from our fields.

" Eliza Lucas Pinckney is an amazing woman in history. She was one of the nation's first women entrepreneurs, running three plantations while in her teens and developing indigo as a cash crop. One of her sons, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, was a signer of the US Constitution. The Pinckney Project is a campaign to restore her gown, especially important as there are no known portraits of this great woman and patriot."
