Home: Catalog: Hardy Perennial: Wild Indigo \ Baptisia

Wild Indigo \ Baptisia Botanical Name: Baptisia australis Life Cycle: Hardy Perennial Description/Size: True blue, June flowers form on this, one of the longest lived perennials known. It even has delicious edible flowers (yes, we where surprised too!). Just strip flowers from stalks and pop into your mouth, green cap and all, for a fresh pea fix. After a short bloom, the unique foliage contrasts with neighbors all summer and then it turns purple after a freeze! Place it next to yellow conifers for excellent winter color. It's a nitrogen fixing legume to boot! Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b Light: Full Sun to Full Sun Height: 3 Feet Water: Normal Soil: Sandy-Loamy Price: $4.29 each Popular Varieties | All Varieties
