Baptisia australis

 
Common name false indigo
Family fabaceae
Life cycle perennial
Flowers blue
Light sun

Most gardeners who grow just one species of baptisia grow this one. True enough, this was the first one we purchased, too - except that our plant turned out to have white flowers, and be B. pendula instead. Since then, our efforts to produce the masses of blue flowers of the more common species have not been successful: we grew several plants from seed a few years ago, but they have stayed small. I'm (once again) hoping for next year...

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: driveway bed
