Description
Dwarf Blue Baptisia, also known as False Indigo or Wild Indigo, makes a striking specimen in borders, cottage gardens, and rock gardens. Plant in small masses to naturalize in prairies, meadows, and other native plant gardens alongside coneflowers and Indiangrass. Plants resist browsing by deer and rabbits and are quite drought tolerant. Dwarf Blue False Indigo is native to the south-central United States, growing along streambanks, wood edges, and prairies. Plants tolerate a wide range of soils, from clay to shallow rocky soils, and develop a deep taproot. Select your planting site carefully, as plants do not respond well to transplanting. Dwarf Blue False Indigo is a host plant for several butterflies and skippers, including Orange Sulphur, Clouded Sulphur, Frosted Elfin, Eastern Tailed Blue, Hoary Edge, and Wild Indigo Duskywing.

Hope it survives
"Really small plant with only a couple of leaves when it arrived. Decent roots however. Finally showing new top growth after almost a month. I realize you can send these too large because of the tsp root but this was really tiny and frail. Stem only about 1/8" diameter. So small I had to put a cage around it to protect it from physical damage. It's alive and I will nurse it into a decent shrub but it just shouldn't be this much work!"
It died
"Follow up review to the one I posted a month ago. Despite intensive love and care, the plant has failed. Down to 2 sick leaves. I have ordered a Proven Winners Decadence Sparkling Saphires Baptisia as a replacement. The replacement is in a quart pot - NOT the tiny 3" pot that American Meadows sent."
I plan to continue shopping at American Meadows
"I love the dwarf baptisia that I purchased, It survived this past winter beautifully. And I plan to purchase more in the future."
Dwarf indeed - there was no plant
"The (already tiny) plastic planter was about 1/3 full of dirt. . . . no plant to be found. . . . box handled very well, with no loose dirt. I honestly think someone chose to ship it this way."
