Baptisia 'Lemon Smoothie' PPAF CPBRAF
DECADENCE® DELUXE Series
Common Name: False Indigo
Brighten your garden with the sunny blooms of 'Lemon Smoothie', a standout in the taller DECADENCE® DELUXE series. 'Lemon Smoothie' stands out for its impressive height and elegant form, creating a bold presence in the landscape. Blooming later than 'Lemon Meringue', it serves as a valuable season extender for Baptisia lovers. Its long flower spikes and strong secondary branching deliver an abundance of cheerful yellow blooms over an extended period, making this one of the longest-blooming Baptisia varieties available.
Baptisia is easy to grow and will thrive with little maintenance. There are many potential applications in the landscape including meadow plantings, as a backdrop in borders, or as a specimen. Plants are very long-lived once established.
The roots of the DECADENCE® series run deep. What started as a fun botanizing trip in the lower Midwest with a fellow horticultarist blossomed into a complex hybridizing project for breeder Hans Hansen. Hans has made countless crosses with the many native Baptisia species he has collected across Texas and Oklahoma. These crosses have resulted in an array of seedlings with unique flower colors and plant habits, the best of which are intrduced into the DECADENCE® Series.
