Baptisia x 'Purple Smoke'
Purple Smoke Indigo Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Discovered as a chance seedling at the North Carolina Botanical Garden, 'Purple Smoke' Indigo combines the dusky violet blue flowers of Baptisia australis with the charcoal gray stems of Baptisia alba, resulting in a beautiful color combination. 'Purple Smoke' is like its parents in every other way. It is a good one for the sunny perennial border or wood's edge where soils are not very acidic. The late spring flower spikes are 4 to 15 inches long and are followed by attractive pods. Plants grow in bushy, branched clumps 2 to 5 feet tall and have clover-shaped leaves. This is an easy and low maintenance choice. Cat# 1035
