Baptisia ‘Plum Rosy’


False Indigo

This selection is a beautiful bicolor with flowers beginning in early spring and lasting into the summer. It forms a tall, bushy mound of grey-green foliage, with long spikes of flowers that open mauve pink and lighten to near white as the season progresses. Both flowers appear on the stem at the same time providing a bicolor effect. Long lived and drought tolerant. Excellent specimen plant. Excellent cut-flower, and is also attractive to butterflies. Drought tolerant, once established. Plants may be increased by dividing in spring, every 4 to 5 years. USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
