Baptisia australis (False Indigo)

Yew Dell Botanical Gardens Verified independent store

→

This straight species native is just like all of the other Baptisia you see in garden centers. Tall, tough, sun loving, and really hard to kill. Blue/Purple flower spikes appear in summer, and the ornamental seeds pods will persist until winter or longer. This plant is host to Orange Sulphur, Frosted Elfin, Eastern Tailed-Blue, Hoary Edge Skipper, and Wild Indigo Duskywing. The Monarch gets all the love it seems, but Kentucky is home to over 50 species of butterflies. They need some love too! Show more
