Baptisia australis
Blue False Indigo

  • Grows quickly each spring into a 3-by-3-foot mound.

  • Attracts pollinators with showy blue panicles of long-lasting flowers.

  • After the flowers fade, fat bean-like seed pods develop and persist through the winter.

  • Blue False Indigo’s deep taproot makes it extremely sturdy and drought tolerant.

  • Deer and rabbits generally avoid it.
