Yellow Wild Indigo (Yellow False Indigo)

Direct sow in fall in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral, dry to moderately moist soil in full sun — yellow wild indigo is the Gulf Coast and south-central species of Baptisia, producing upright spikes of clear, bright yellow pea-flowers in April–May on compact, mounded, blue-green foliage that remains attractive and deer-resistant all season after the flowers fade. It is native to the prairies and open woodlands of Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, where it is a defining plant of the coastal prairie and post oak savanna flora. Like all false indigos, it develops a deep, extensive taproot that makes it highly drought tolerant and difficult to transplant once established — plant it in its permanent location from seed or small transplant and leave it undisturbed. The inflated, spherical seed pods are attractive in dried arrangements. Nitrogen-fixing; improves soil for neighboring plants. Slow to establish but essentially immortal once settled — clumps are known to persist and bloom for decades. Спосіб посадки: Посів у відкритий ґрунт Відстань між рослинами: 24–36 дюймів Висота: 24–36 дюймів Дні до схожості: 14–30 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 18–24°C
