Baptisia ‘American Goldfinch’ #2

Prolific, upright flower spikes support pea-like yellow flowers above a dense, wide habit. Like their precious songbird namesakes, the glowing torches of yellow won’t be overlooked. Large, round seed pods follow the flowers to add interest to the fall/winter garden. Baptisia American Goldfinch thrives with little maintenance. False Indigo is very long-lived once established. The foliage does die back to the ground completely each winter; however, the mature plants provide a shrub-like appearance and provide a lovely backdrop to any summer or fall garden.

• Light Requirements: Full Sun to Part Sun (6 to 6+ Hours)
