Description

Baptisia australis False Indigo is an eastern U.S. native with bold spikes of violet-blue, pea-like flowers in the late spring, followed by unique black seed pods. Baptisia is a great alternative to Lupine for warmer climates.

Baptisia australis False Indigo is drought tolerant once established due to its extensive root system. It should not be disturbed once established, so choose a good, sunny location to be its home. It can be cut back after blooming to maintain a tidy appearance and to prevent self-sowing.

Baptisia australis False Indigo would be a great addition to cottage and pollinator gardens!

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
