Blue Indigo Spacingīlue Indigo starts out as tiny, upright growth, but it can reach nearly 4 feet high and around by the end of summer. But the plant should appear from the soil again in spring. As soon as the first fall frost hits, the leaves turn black and die back. After your Blue Indigo has finished flowering, prune back about one-third of the plant to give it a more attractive shape. The only fertilizer you need is a top-dressing of compost or a balanced slow-release fertilizer once in spring as new growth appears.Īs flowers fade, you can leave them to enjoy the seed pods they form (these are relatives of peas) or pinch them off. Be sure to plant it at the same level as in its current container to avoid placing it too deeply in the ground. The plant does not need fertile soil to grow, so select any area that gets lots of sun (at least 6 hours a day). The pretty foliage really shines as a backdrop for shorter perennials that bloom later. They’re also disease- and pest-free plant choices. Hardy in zones 3 through 8, the plant can handle some hot sun but survive cold winters underground. Its color lasts long, from the time it begins to grow each spring until the first frost. The leaves are a smooth green, and in late spring to early summer, their stems support a string of flowers at the end.Īlso drought tolerant, this baptisia is a great choice for rock gardens or deep containers.

Although this perennial dies back to the ground each year (don’t be alarmed), it re-emerges in spring and grows back to a robust 3 to 4 feet high and wide, resembling a shrub more than a perennial. Native and easy to grow, Blue Indigo (Baptisia australis) also boasts pretty bluish purple flowers.
