Cream Wild Indigo

Overview

Cream Wild Indigo (Baptisia leucophaea) is a striking spring-blooming wildflower of the prairie found across the Great Plains of North America. Growing up to a height of 1 meter, it has woody stems with clusters of fragrant yellow or white flowers. Its grey-green leaves are alternating and composed of a number of leaflets that terminate in a point. The wild indigo prefers a dry location and needs full sun exposure to flower. It's a short-lived perennial, so make sure to properly manage it in order to maximize its lifespan. This species of wildflower is drought-tolerant and provides food for pollinators and is a great choice for anyone looking to create an eye-catching display in the garden.
