Baptisia Pink Truffles (Decadence Series) | 9cm Pot

Handsome foliage and pea-like flowers. Position: full sun Soil: well-drained, preferably sandy soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: April to June Hardiness: fully hardy The baptisias in the Decadence Series all have a compact habit and will form low shrubby mounds of handsome foliage. It is for their pea-like flowers however that they are really sought after. This one can produce 30cm long spikes of yellow buds in spring, which open to soft pink flowers that fade to lavender-pink as they age. Later the seed pods develop and these offer further interest, which lasts well into autumn. Garden care: Lift and divide large colonies in early spring if necessary, though they are best left undisturbed if you can since they develop deep tap roots which enable them to be more drought tolerant.
