One of Mt. Cubas top performers in the Baptisia trials! Stems emerge purple and fade to green as they age. White flowers on 2 foot long spikes contrast beautifully with the dark stems usually blooming for 3 weeks in spring. An upright vase shaped habit this Baptisia will have leafless bottoms with the green leaves filling out the top of the plant. Pollinators will be attracted to the early blooming flowers. After flowering highly ornamental seed pods are formed with seeds that rattle around inside. Once opened the seeds will be enjoyed by wildlife. Baptisia is typically slower to established but it is a long lived hardy perennial. Does not do well with division as it has a long tap root.
