Baptisia australis, commonly known as Blue False Indigo—a botanical masterpiece that effortlessly combines beauty and resilience in your garden. Renowned for its striking, indigo-blue blossoms and unique, lupine-like foliage, this perennial gem adds a touch of elegance to any landscape.
- Vibrant Blue Blooms: Be prepared to be mesmerized by the stunning, upright spikes of deep blue flowers that adorn your garden in late spring to early summer. The intense colour and distinctive pea-like blossoms make Baptisia australis a standout feature.
- Lupine-Like Foliage: The Blue False Indigo doesn't just stop at its blossoms—its blue-green, trifoliate leaves resemble those of the lupine plant, creating an attractive and textured backdrop even when not in bloom.
