Re: Baptisa

Kitty
If I remember correctly it took me several years to bulk up any of the baptisa I have grown. I think I sat on the plugs of baptisa for one to two years before offering them in the nursery. Still another couple of years away from bloom at that. What size did you order for your prairie garden... 72's?? 18's?? Stage 3 TC??

Gene,
Baptisia australis was one of my first plants. I loved watching it snake
out of the ground in spring. I liked it so much that when AHS asked members
to nominate plants for their 75th anniversary list, I wrote in and suggested
it. They did include it on their "75 Great Plants" list and gave me a copy
of their brown book for nominating it.

We have several Baptisias in our display garden. We have both Purple Smoke
and Carolina Moonlight. Our Prairie garden has a few varieties including a
white one, but it's not pendula - don't have my list with me.
