Baptisia Pink Lemonade (False Indigo)

Baptisia 'Pink Lemonade' (False Indigo) is an upright, densely branched perennial bearing sturdy spikes of pea-shaped, soft yellow flowers that age to pink and mauve-lavender in late spring to early summer. The unique, bicolor flowers contrast nicely with the charcoal stems. The blue-green foliage forms a lush, bushy, vase-shaped clump that 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.
