  • Tough, durable native with few pests or problems

This cultivar of a North American native plant makes a stunning statement in the garden in late spring when golden-yellow flower spikes bloom above its round, wide habit. This is a highly floriferous Baptisia and the blooming continues for several weeks. After blooming, the attractive seed heads add fall interest. This is an excellent specimen for filling in a large space in the garden.

Homeowner Growing Tips: Easy to grow in average to poor soil that is well-drained. Best in full sun, but it will tolerate light shade. If grown in too much shade it will need to be staked. Moderately drought tolerant once established, which may take a couple of seasons. A long-lived plant. Avoid disturbing the clump once established.
