Baptisia minor is its little-known cousin that's actually superior to Baptisia australis in garden value. Take a Baptisia australis and shrink the leaves and plant by about half, attach an 18-24\" flower spike atop the clump, which is loaded with blue-lavender flowers from mid-April until early May, and you have Baptisia minor. In summer, the enormous black pods add garden interest as they cling to the sturdy old flower spikes. This offering is a seed strain from an excellently flowering form we selected from our original wild seed collection in Melissa, just north of Dallas, TX.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21025539973,"sku":"3714","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/products\/Baptisia-minor-Melissa-Blue.i-3714.s-63560.r-1.jpg?v=1659382537","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/products\/baptisia-minor-melissa-blue","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
