Indigo Spires Perennial - Baptisia australis - Gallon Pot

This Baptisia greatly impressed us in our trials with its perfect habit and heavy flower production. Unlike some Baptisia which can be tall and leggy, ‘Indigo Spires’ forms a densely branched, fully rounded clump of glaucous green foliage that extends far down the stems, leaving little bare stem showing at the base. In early summer, 12-15” long spikes of deep violet purple flowers accented by a yellow keel are borne on all sides of the rounded clump, not just at the top, producing a bigger show of color overall. Secondary flower spikes extend the flowering time into midsummer. This perennial could easily be used in place of a shrub in the landscape where it will be extremely long lived and require little care to thrive year after year.
