Baptisia australis

3-4' × same.

An early summer stand-out with vibrant blue lupine-like flowers. Native nitrogen-fixing legume is a larval host plant for many butterfly species. Has a bushy habit and short shrub-like vase structure once mature. Seed pods turn black in fall, adding interest to the autumn landscape and offering forage for granivore birds. Will develop an extensive root system, good for holding slopes to prevent erosion.

Plant 3' apart in full sun and well-drained acid soil. Native to eastern and central North America. Z3. (bare-root crowns)

Maine Grown.
