30+BLUE WILD False INDIGO Seeds Native Wildflower Perennial Nitrogen-Fixing Easy

You are purchasing 30+ fresh seeds collected from my gardens in 2022. I always add extras! If you’re looking for a striking perennial that needs minimum care to produce maximum results, take a good look at Baptisia plants. Also known as false indigo, the flowers were once used by Native Americans and early European settlers as a dye before true indigo became available. False Indigo Flowers, members of the Fabaceae or pea family, false indigo flowers’ distinctive pea-like blossoms also come in white (Baptisia alba) and yellow (Baptisia tinctoria) as well as the more widely known and stunning blue (Baptisia australis). Native to the prairies of southern North America, Baptisia plants grow well in almost any well drained soil in USDA planting zones 5-9. Leaves are trifoliate (three leaflets) and range in color from dark blue-green to light yellow-green and can become so dense as to give the plant a shrub-like appearance. Fully mature plants can grow two and a half to three feet tall and produce racemes or flower spikes adding another 12 to 24 inches (30-61 cm.) to their height. Each of these racemes are covered with flowers and will bloom for about six weeks in spring or early summer. A fully mature plant can produce a hundred of these glorious spikes. These seeds do need cold stratification, but I have started the process for you. They are already in my frig and ready to ship! Simply leave them in your frig until ready to start. I prefer to soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours prior to planting to speed up germination. I started several of them from seed indoors and then planted outdoors and they did very well. Feel free to ask any questions and as always….Happy Gardening!!
