Pinetree has seeds (www.superseeds.com/herb_seeds.htm) and so does
Richters as I recall (www.richters.com, but not working right now).
But your original sources could be fine.
You might check hardiness - as I recall indigo is tropical and not
frost hardy, or maybe only to zone 9 or 10. Might double check on
the shade tolerance too, I've seen references that it requires sun.
Other N fixers to consider are bayberry and goumi... which some say
tolerate shade. Maybe not quite as useful for dye...
