Baptisia 'Decadence Pink Lemonade'

Baptisia Decadence Pink Lemonade is a striking hybrid that takes the classic Baptisia australis to new heights with a vibrant mix of colours, an extended blooming season, and a compact growth habit perfect for smaller gardens. This variety forms neat, bushy mounds of blue-green foliage, topped with stunning spires of bi-coloured flowers that start off yellow and gradually deepen to a raspberry hue as they mature. Each flower spike displays both colours simultaneously, creating a captivating display. Starting in May, the blooms emerge from the bottom of each spike and continue to unfold upwards, reaching their peak in late summer. After flowering, the plant produces attractive black seed pods that extend visual interest into the autumn months. Ideal for informal, cottage-style borders or prairie-style plantings, this perennial is also a great choice for wildlife-friendly gardens, as its flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. Baptisia Decadence Pink Lemonade thrives in poor, well-drained soils and is drought-tolerant once established. It reaches a height of 90 cm (35 inches) and spreads to around 75 cm (30 inches), making it an excellent addition to a garden looking for both beauty and resilience.
