More About Baptisia 'Purple Smoke'...A recent introduction from the North Carolina Botanical Garden, this exciting hybrid offers great potential as a specimen plant in the garden. Long spikes of smoky violet-blue and purple flowers held on black, sturdy stems rise above the bushy mound of grey-green foliage during spring. A good substitute for Lupines, in areas where they are difficult to grow. Makes an 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.
