Baptisia sphaerocarpa ‘Screamin’ Yellow’

‘Screamin’ Yellow’ is particularly noted for its profuse bloom. It typically grows to 2-3′ tall with a mature spread to 5′ wide. Showy, pea-like, bright yellow flowers in erect racemes (to 12-15" tall) bloom in late April-May atop yellow-green flower stems that rise well above a foliage mound of clover-like green (perhaps tinged with yellow) leaves (leaflets to 2" long). Flowers give way to inflated spherical seed pods (to 3/4" diameter) that turn tan/brown when ripe and have considerable ornamental interest. Stems with seed pods are valued additions to dried flower arrangements.
