Baptisia is a moderate growing perennial plant that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 3A through 9B. It matures to an average height of 2 feet to 4 feet and an average width of 2 feet to 4 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides full sun, morning sun with afternoon shade or morning shade with afternoon sun and grows best when planted in loam or clay soil that is well drained. In the spring and summer Baptisia produces yellow, purple, blue, cream, white, violet, lavender and soft lavender flowers. The foliage is blue green and medium green in color. It attracts butterflies and visual attention and is resistant to deer, drought, diseases and heat.
Baptisia can be useful in the landscape in mass plantings, as a background, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas, as a focal point, in landscape beds or islands or in small groupings and also in rock or xeriscape gardens, cottage gardens, butterfly gardens, hummingbird gardens or perennial gardens.
