False indigo is one of the best blue flowers for Iowa landscapes and does extremely well in most soil conditions. Trifoliate, blue-green clover-like foliage is seen throughout the growing season and in spring, plants are covered in tall, slender towers of blue pea-like flowers. Seed pods mature to a charcoal-black and add great texture to the landscape and to dried flower arangements. False indigo grows best in average, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade but can tolerate poor, chalky, and droughty soils too. No major insect/disease issues.
Baptisia australis is an Iowa native.
