• Cut to the ground in autumn

A no-fuss perennial whose smaller stature compared to other Baptisias make it a great option for smaller gardens. Foliage emerges bronze in spring, maturing to a lovely grey-green. Pastel yellow buds give way to creamy vanilla white flowers from late spring to early summer.

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 seasons. Cut back in spring, or whenever it gets flattened by autumn or winter weather. A long-lived plant; avoid disturbing the clump once established.
