  • Dwarf Blue Wild Indigo plants look great 5

    Posted by Trudy McDaniel on Jun 22 2023

    Baptisia Australis are slow growing, but this "nativar" is off to a great start. Each time I get an order from US Perennials I'm relieved and grateful and excited. If you've ever ordered natives from other sites and been underwhelmed, then you're in for a treat. Wish I could share photos.
