Baptisia ‘Blueberry Sundae’ Description

Baptisia ‘Blueberry Sundae’ forms a compact, upright mound of deep blue-green foliage topped by vibrant indigo-blue flower spikes in late spring and early summer. The pea-like flowers open gradually from the base of each stem and are followed by decorative dark seed pods that extend the display into autumn. Reaching around 90cm high and wide, the mature plant develops a substantial, shrub-like presence in mixed borders and naturalistic planting. Grow in full sun or light shade in average to poor soil with excellent drainage. Once established it is drought tolerant and long lived. Choose its permanent position carefully, as the deep taproot makes established plants difficult to move. Avoid waterlogged ground during wet Irish winters.
