Description
Baptisia tinctoria, or Yellow Wild Indigo, is a compact perennial native to eastern North America. It is known for its bright yellow flowers that appear in early summer, followed by small, inflated seed pods. The plant has slender, bluish-green foliage and typically grows up to 2-3 feet tall, making it suitable for smaller gardens or naturalized settings.
