Baptisia 'Golden Anniversary' (False Indigo)

Baptisia 'Golden Anniversary'

A stunning breakthrough in color, this Baptisia features a unique combination of indigo-blue flowers and golden-yellow foliage. The ball-shaped habit of ovate leaves is held on sturdy stems, and in early summer long spikes of indigo flowers rise just above the foliage. Both the foliage and flowers are excellent for cut arrangements. In the garden, pair with darker greens or companions like Salvia 'Big Sky' and Amsonia x 'String Theory' to make the colors pop.

This long-lived perennial native may take a couple of seasons to establish but will thrive for many years once mature. Ideal as a bright focal point, it is pollinator friendly, deer resistant, drought and salt tolerant. Avoid disturbing established clumps.
