Baptisia variicolor
INDIGO 'TWILITE PRAIRIE BLUES'
SKU: 1563-5
Sunset-coloured burgundy and yellow elegant flowers held above dense blue-green foliage. With a clump-forming nature it will spread slowly over time, with more mature plants increasing their display of flowers.
Once established these plants are very easy to grow, reliable and low-maintenance, and are drought tolerant.
Height: 90cm-1.5m, 3-5'
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 4-9
Location: Sun to part sun
Seeds per pack: 5
Note: Ornamental use only. This plant and/or seeds may be poisonous.
Germination: Sow the seeds just under the surface and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 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-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
