A very showy plant when in bloom! Blue wild indigo is a long-lived and drought tolerant perennial that grows in robust and dense clumps. What's more, it is easy to grow and adaptable to many soils, and the mid-blue color goes well with many other flower colors; the seedpods are ornamental too.
Spikes of deep blue/purple pea-shaped flowers appear in late spring. The plants form bushy, branched clumps. Deer and rabbit resistant plant.
This is an easy, low maintenance perennial that's perfect for sunny borders, cottage gardens, prairies, meadows, native plant gardens and public spaces. Effective in naturalized settings. Best as a specimen or in small groups.
Great combos can be achieved with Amsonia, Coreopsis, Penstemon, Echinacea, grasses, Peonies and Roses.

Great plant with healthy roots
Baptisia is a favorite of mine, and to build up a new cluster I purchased a couple plants in spring. I'm reviewing them now in the heat of summer, and they have done very well, and have been quite tolerant of hot, dry late summer conditions. So: quick to establish thanks to their well-developed, healthy roots. Lovely!
