Eliza Lucas Pinckney and Indigo with author Peggy Pickett
In 1740, 17-year old Eliza Lucas began experimenting with plants on her father’s plantation on Wappoo Creek. It was there she succeeded in growing indigo, producing a rich, blue dye from the leaves of the plant and bringing a profitable new cash crop to Carolina planters.
