Description
Baptisia australis, commonly known as Blue Wild Indigo, is a native perennial prized for its upright habit and striking indigo-blue flowers that bloom in late spring. The pea-shaped flowers are followed by decorative seed pods that turn black as they mature, adding interest to the plant€™s appearance. Growing up to 4 feet tall, this long-lived plant is a standout in native gardens and prairie landscapes.
Blue Wild Indigo thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils, though it is tolerant of drought once established. Its deep taproots make it an excellent choice for stabilizing soil and preventing erosion. Beyond its ornamental appeal, it supports pollinators like bees and butterflies, while its foliage is unpalatable to deer and rabbits.
