Notes
'Musical Duet' wild indigo (Baptisia 'Musical Duet') is a perennial for borders, specimen planting, and mass planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry soil. Violet and white flower spikes rise above blue-green foliage in early to late summer, and bees visit them. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It dislikes being moved once established, so pick its spot with care.
Pairs well with Purple lovegrass, Ornamental onion, and Blue Spruce sedum.
