Wild Blue Indigo

Wild Blue Indigo (Baptisia australis) is a striking native perennial known for its beautiful blue flowers and attractive foliage. It typically blooms in late spring to early summer, producing tall spikes of deep blue, pea-like flowers atop sturdy stems. The flowers are followed by seed pods that turn black as they mature, adding further interest to the plant. Wild Blue Indigo's gray-green foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season, forming a bushy clump that provides texture and structure to the garden. This plant is drought tolerant once established and thrives in full sun to partial shade.
