Baptisia australis 'False Indigo'

1 Gallon Tough and durable, Baptisia australis (False Indigo) is an upright perennial with a long season of interest. In spring, this native to the North American prairies bears spikes of pea-shaped indigo blue flowers, resembling Lupines. They last for about three weeks and attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. When the flowers fade away, the lovely blue-green, trifoliate leaves remain neat and form a lovely backdrop for the other perennials in the garden. If left untrimmed, the plant forms interesting seedpods turning deep black in the fall and persist into winter. Height: 3 - 4' Spread: 3 - 4' Spacing: 3 - 4' Exposure: Full Sun (6+ Hours) Blooms: Late Spring to Mid Summer
