Baptisia alba, commonly called white wild indigo or white false indigo, is a perennial plant native in central and eastern North America, and is typically found in open woodland areas and prairies with tall grasslands.
The plant is tall, with white, pealike flowers. Blooming occurs from April to July, earlier in the southern part of the range. The species is native to grasslands, and is grown in some gardens.
These plants produce tidy clumps of flowers for the perennial garden. Once established plants are easy to grow, reliable and low-maintenance, and are drought tolerant.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 4-9
Height: 36-48", 90-120cm
Location: Sun to part sun
Seeds per packet: 10
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 6 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period for most seeds, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. This plant and/or seeds may be poisonous.

I got these pretty quickly and in perfect order. I can't wait to see what they look like once I plant them. I have another colour and they were so pretty I had to try these. I have used this seller a few times now with great success, and will again. Everything I have ordered has been of good quality!

We placed our order on Thursday and received it on Monday. Here in Canada the tracking link is accurate. Ferri seeds tells you when they're shipping and when your order is delivered, the seeds arriving in excellent condition. We will definitely be ordering again this spring. Keep up the good work!

I happened across Ferri Seeds website when I Googled a particular plant I’d been looking for. I was impressed by their selection of all types of seeds and their good product descriptions along with detailed germination instructions. I found the site and ordered on a Saturday. On Sunday I got a notice that my order had been shipped! The seeds were in my P.O. box on Friday. Such amazing service. It’s too early to comment on germination rates — I’ve just started the stratification process today.

Ferri Seeds offered a hard to find seed on their website. I placed the order but had questions about product and delivery. Customer service contacted me right away. My questions were answered right away. I was kept updated on delivery progress. The seeds were exactly what I wanted. My husband is a very serious gardener. I will do more business with Ferri.
