Baptisia, or also known as Blue False Indigo, is very reliable, long-lived and easy-to-grow perennial, perfect for home landscaping. Flowers are blue-purple and pea-like, congested in dense, upright, terminal spikes, 4-16 in. long. Leaves are divided into three leaflets. Culture: Hardened seeds should be chilled in the refrigerator for six to 12 weeks. The stratified (chilled) seeds must be scarified by soaking them in seed coat with warm water and sandpaper or nicked with a knife point. The seeds then need to be soaked in water for 24 hours and planted indoors. Seedlings can be moved to the garden after all danger of frost has passed.
