Baptisia Decadence ‘Cherries Jubilee’
Baptisia Decadence 'Cherries Jubilee' has unique orangey-maroon lupin-like flowers over blue-green foliage.
‘Cherries Jubilee’ has unique orangey-maroon and yellow flowers aging to gold with secondary branching. Very floriferous. The plants have an upright habit and attractive blue-green foliage. The cultivars of the Decadence Series from breeder Hans Hansen were selected specifically for their shorter, more compact habit and unique flower colours. Baptisia are like perennial lupins. Though they are herbaceous they act much like a shrub for design purposes.
