A native North American wildflower, False Indigo is an excellent choice for sunny gardens all over the continent.

Makes an excellent cut flower, also attractive to butterflies. Drought tolerant, once established.

Baptisia australis fix nitrogen in the soil and its dried seed pods make very satisfactory rattles to amuse the little ones.
