Baptisia australis / WILD INDIGO
Baptisia australis, commonly known as Wild Indigo, is a striking perennial that blooms in late spring to early summer, producing tall spikes of vibrant, indigo-blue flowers that resemble pea blossoms. Its attractive, dark green, trifoliate leaves provide a lush backdrop to the stunning flower spikes, which are followed by black seed pods that add interest in the fall. Wild Indigo has a strong, upright growth habit, making it an excellent choice for borders, meadows, or naturalized areas. It thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, and is drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal care. With its bold flowers, sturdy structure, and ability to attract pollinators, Baptisia australis is a beautiful and beneficial addition to any garden.
