Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips:
Baptisia performs best in full sun, though it can tolerate shaded areas of the garden. Plants will require staking if grown in too much shade. Baptisia is easily grown in poor to average soils that are well-drained in nature. Once established, it is moderately drought tolerant. This perennial may take a couple of years to become established, but it is a very long-lived perennial once established. Propagation is by cutting. Dividing this perennial is not recommended because of it's taproot.
