Baptisia x 'Twilite Prairieblues'
Twilite Prairieblues False Indigo Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Dr. Jim Ault at the Chicago Botanic Garden recently released the Meadowbrite series of coneflowers, and now he has introduced an outstanding Baptisia hybrid between B. australis (blue wild indigo) and B. sphaerocarpa (yellow baptisia), called 'Twilite Prairieblues'. This one has 3 to 4 foot tall spikes of dark mahogany/violet flowers with yellow keels or bases. When in flower in late spring and early summer, it will be absolutely loaded with flowers. As with the other baptisias, give this one full sun and average to dry soil. It is long lived, drought tolerant, pest free, and the colors are way cool! Cat# 1458
