Baptisia – Aurora False Indigo
$19.99
A Magnificent Color-Changing Specimen
Bring intense flowering and unique pea-like foliage to your landscape with the striking Aurora False Indigo, Baptisia. Aurora produces magical color-changing flowers that emerge warm yellow and then slowly become suffused with rose-lavender as they age. The tall, magnificent flower spikes show off the full color transition. This jewel has a remarkable habit with a stature that is more upright than wide. Its vase-like habit is covered with densely packed blossoms in spring. Like all Baptisia, Aurora False Indigo has a substantial presence in the garden.
Use in place of a shrub in the landscape or as a centerpiece in the garden. Due to its native Missouri plant heritage, this Baptisia easily grows in the St Louis, Missouri, area and will thrive with little maintenance. It matures into an incredibly full and bushy plant-a perfect substitution for shrubs if you’re looking for structure in the garden. Aurora False Indigo has many potential applications in the landscape, including meadow plantings, as a backdrop in borders, and as a specimen. Plants are very long-lived once established. Its seed pods add considerable interest to dried flower arrangements.
Plant in full sun, at least 6 hours of sun a day. Due to its long tap root, carefully plan where to plant this beauty, as it does not like to be moved. Keep well watered until established, when plants are setting up buds and blooming, and during dry spells.
