Notes
'Pink Lemonade' wild indigo (Baptisia 'Pink Lemonade') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and low maintenance planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms in spring and again in summer, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. It is drought tolerant and salt tolerant. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Peony, Caradonna sage, and Lady's mantle.
