Plum Rosy False Indigo is a stunning Baptisia with upright spikes of rosy-pink pea-like flowers that emerge in spring above fresh blue-green foliage. As a Great Lakes native and deep-rooted perennial, it takes a few seasons to establish but rewards patience with decades of increasingly impressive performance. Growing 3 to 5 feet tall and wide, it forms a substantial, shrub-like clump that looks beautiful even when not in bloom—the blue-green foliage provides a refined backdrop for summer companions, and the inflated seed pods add ornamental interest into fall. Deer resistant, drought tolerant once established, and Juglone tolerant. One of the most long-lived and distinguished perennials for the native garden.
