Baptisias

As a North American native, Baptisia establishes itself in a variety of climates. Wild swings between summer and winter do not bother this plant with a lifespan that measures into the decades.

A SPRING POWERHOUSE

Baptisia blooms in late spring with other floral powerhouses like Peonies, Roses, and Bearded Iris. A dramatic addition to the perennial border, it’s the size of a shrub with long spires rising above waist level. Flowers come in bright solids, bicolors, and transitioning varieties that shift colors as the spires extend.

A NATIVE'S JOB TO DO

These plants work hard in the garden, bullet-proof and pest-resistant once established. Highly drought tolerant, their long tap roots punch through heavy clay soils and reach down deep, pulling up minerals and shedding them in the fall leaves. Since Baptisia is a legume, the roots fix nitrogen from the air and add it to the soil.   

The Bee

BRED BY A BEE, a chance seedling produced the beautiful new color-shifting Baptisia we call 'Aurora'. The colors change across the top as the spires extend themselves over the foliage.
