Quick Overview:

Introduced by acclaimed plantsman Tony Avent, this tall ultraclassy Baptisia alba hybrid is included in the Mt. Cuba Center’s top-10 Baptisia list for its consistent standout attributes. Towering pure white flower spikes surmount tall sturdy stems that emerge with dark purple tints, crafting eye-catching contrast. Trim, glaucous bluish green leaves sprout well above ground level to reveal more of the sleek upright stalks, while both the luminous flowers and large fruit beguile garden visitors and flower arrangers alike.

Description

Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Best in full sun. Tolerates drought and poor soils. Over time, plants develop slowly expanding clumps with deep and extensive root systems, and should not be disturbed once established. May be grown from seed, but takes several years to establish. Plants take on more of a shrubby appearance and tend to open up after bloom. Trimming or shearing foliage after bloom helps maintain rounded plant appearance and obviates a possible need for staking, but eliminates the developing seed pods which are so attractive.
