Baptisia

Baptisia

A great plant that deserves to be better known. Like a Lupin, only not!

Easy to grow and with little effort comes great reward. The stems are upright in habit and come late spring to summer time are topped with lupin like, normally bi-colour flowers that are highly attractive to bees, hoverflies and many other insects.

On the whole, Baptisia hold their shape when in bloom and afterwards too so do not require staking.

Average height is around 90cm so prefect for mid border planting surrounded by herbaceous Geraniums.
