Tips On Growing Baptisia (False Indigo)

Baptisia (False Indigo) are native prairie plants known for their showy flowers and ornamental seed pods.
Preferred Growing Gonditions:

Plant in most any soil including clay, but avoid wet, low areas.
Baptisia needs full sun.
No mulch is needed for these perennials.
Water regularly the first growing season then much less often during second growing season and beyond.
Plants in this genus are legumes and need no additional fertilizer.

Special Comments:

Seed heads are ornamental, so deadheading is optional; the plant won't re-bloom. Cut back to the ground in early to mid-spring.
Plants have large tap roots and should not be divided or transplanted once established.
