Blueberry Sundae False Indigo
Blueberry Sundae False Indigo brings the distinctive flowers and architectural foliage of Baptisia into a notably compact form. Deep indigo-blue blossoms crowd sturdy flower spikes in late spring, creating a substantial display above attractive blue-green leaves. After flowering, inflated seed pods add texture while the foliage remains handsome well into the growing season.
This selection is an intentional cross between two North American native Baptisia species, B. minor and B. australis. That makes it a native-derived hybrid rather than a cultivar of a single straight species, but it retains the durable foliage, floral structure, deep-rooted growth habit, and pollinator appeal associated with its native parents. Once established, it handles heat, drought, poor soils, and very little ongoing maintenance.

Maintenance Tips
- Plant in full sun to light partial shade and avoid locations that remain waterlogged.
- Baptisia develops a substantial deep root system and dislikes being moved once established, so choose its permanent location carefully.
