Baptisia australis – Blue Indigo
A beloved Missouri native Blue Indigo, Baptisia australis, enlivens the landscape with showy racemes of pea-shaped indigo-blue flowers in late spring and early summer. Showy black seed pots follow the flowers and look fabulous in dried arrangements. Its ornamental blue-green foliage looks great all year and makes a stunning backdrop for other plants. Winner of the prestigious 2010 Perennial Plant of the Year. A featured plant of the Missouri Prairie Foundation Grow Native Pollinator Buffet program, a collection of plants that have been identified as being important to pollinators.
Baptisia australis is a carefree and easy-to-grow perennial that prefers full sun. Carefully plan where to plant this beauty, as plants do not like to be moved.
