Baptisia Cherries Jubilee (False Indigo)

Very floriferous, Baptisia 'Cherries Jubilee' (False Indigo) is an upright, densely branched perennial bearing sturdy spikes of pea-shaped, golden-yellow, and cinnamon flowers. Opening from vivid chocolate buds, the blossoms glow in the late spring to the early summer landscape. In peak bloom, ‘Cherries Jubilee’ has an impressive 280 inflorescences over its medium-sized habit, creating a truly spectacular display. When the flowers fade away, the blue-green foliage, which forms a bushy, spreading mound, remains neat all season and creates a lovely backdrop for the other perennials in the garden. If left untrimmed, the plant forms interesting seedpods turning charcoal-black in the fall and persisting into winter.
