Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Compact, well branched stems to 3' tall are topped with generous burgundy buds that pop to bicolor burgundy and yellow late spring to early summer, unlike the species, secondary branching provides even more bloom! Flowers evolve to yellow gold as they age
Cherries Jubilee' has unique orangey-maroon and yellow flowers aging to gold with secondary branching. Very floriferous. The plants have an upright habit and attractive blue-green foliage. The cultivars of the Decadence Series from breeder Hans Hansen were selected specifically for their shorter, more compact habit and unique flower colours. Baptisia are like perennial lupins. Though they are herbaceous they act much like a shrub for design purposes.
Late spring, early summer mahogany and yellow spikes bloom above densely branched blue-green soft foliage for an interesting rusty impression. Seed pods extend interest when the flowers leave off. Mix with other Baptisia colors! Rounded, clumping habit, 3'x3' Ships when dormant. Minimum temperature: -30°F
