Baptisia 'Pink Lemonade'

Written By Elizabeth Broadbent
 

Family: Fabaceae

  • pea like soft pink flowers that fade to lavender-pink flowers on long black spikes.

  • black stems

  • drought tolerant when established

Sunlight: Full sun to part shade

Ultimate Height: 1.25 meters

Ultimate Spread: 0.9 meters

Care:

Baptisia grows best in full sun, though it tolerates light shade. If grown in too much shade, plants may require staking. Baptisia is easily grown in poor to average soil that is well-drained. Once established, it is moderately drought tolerant because of its tough, deep taproot.
