It has a good, upright form sporting sturdy stalks bearing sweetpea-like indigo-blue flowers in mid-summer, followed by ornamental black seed pods. The foliage is an attractive blue-green colour. Baptisia is easily grown in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It will be drought tolerant once established and is pest and disease free. HEIGHT: 90-120 cm SPREAD: 90-100 cm
