Description
White Baptisia, also called White Wild Indigo or White False Indigo, is native to central North American prairies. Plants make stunning specimens in borders, cottage gardens, and rock gardens, and naturalize well in prairies and meadows. In the garden setting, plant among Goldenrod, Pale Purple Coneflower, Prairie Dropseed Grass, and Butterfly Weed for season-long color. White Baptisia is slow to establish in the garden, but individual plants are very long-lived. Select your planting site carefully, as plants develop a deep taproot and do not tolerate being transplanted once established. Plants tend to take on a shrubby appearance after flowering. You can trim foliage after flowering to maintain a more rounded plant form, however, this removes the seed heads which add interest late in the season. The Xerces Society identifies White Baptisia as a plant of special value to native bees and bumblebees. It also serves as an occasional host plant to butterflies, including Wild Indigo Duskywing, Hoary Edge, Southern Dogface, and Orange Sulfur Butterflies.

Reviews
Disappointed
"Arrived very tiny & despite my best efforts, it did not survive. Despite putting it in my greenhouse with grow lights, it did not thrive"
Based on the other review posed recently, will not buy again
"I wasn't going to leave a review assuming it was personal error or bad luck, but I had the same experience as the other recent reviewer: there seemed to be some kind of wilting disease that killed the plant. Plant is dead gone after a week in the ground, I'll have to find something else to fit there and I don't plan to reorder."
No flowers seen
"Too small for productive. Not a good sample. I have several baptists plants but this specimen scribbled up as soon as a small amount of sun bathed it"
Unsure
"Ordered 4 of these. One arrived with half wilted brown stems. Since planting two others have had browning and wilting. They are pretty tough plants so hoping they pull through."
