Baptisia australis, commonly known as blue false indigo, is a pretty perennial herbaceous plant prized for its ornamental foliage and attractive flower spikes.
It forms a clump of sturdy stems with compound leaves, and in late spring to early summer, it produces tall spikes of vibrant blue or white pea-like flowers.
After flowering, it develops interesting seed pods, adding further visual interest to the garden.
Its robust growth habit and ability to thrive in various conditions make it a valuable addition to domestic gardens, particularly in mixed borders, cottage gardens, or naturalized areas.
