Baptisia


This is a new perennial for me.  This is third year from a 4 inch pot, about three feet tall and two wide now.  I have read that they may have dozens of these flowering stalks.  The bloom is fleeting, already come and gone, just during May.  They have tap roots, like California poppies, so do not like to be moved.  The foliage is pretty, but overall a pretty so-so plant.  Probably as close to lupine as we will ever get in our gardens here though.
