Yellow Wild Indigo, Yellow False Indigo, Baptisia

Description

Tall spikes of bright yellow pea-like blossoms are held above the gray-green foliage. Baptisia's are durable pest and disease resistant native taprooted perennials and could be considered the Lupine for the south. An excellent addition to the perennial border or cut-flower garden that is drought tolerant, deer resistant, durable, and easy. Considered a must for the cutflower garden as the spikes have an excellent vase life.
Baptisia's only get better with age producing more and more spikes of flowers successively each year that they are allowed to share our gardens.
