Description
Baptisia ‘Burgundy Blast’ is a new take on an old favourite with spires of dark wine-purple lupin-like flowers with hints of yellow anchored above blue-green foliage. Flowers bloom from late spring to early summer followed by ornamental dark seed pods. Plants will reach 32-46 inches high and wide. False indigo are like perennial lupins. They are long-lived and will adapt to a wide range of soils from dry to marginally wet to salty but dislike being moved once established. They will grow into a vase-shaped anchor plant with the weight and presence of a shrub. Use in the border as a specimen, focal point, or anchor plant or mass plant in larger gardens. Drought tolerant once established. Nitrogen-fixer. Pollinator attractor. Deer resistant.
