Baptisia 'Golden Anniversary' - FALSE INDIGO 'GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY'
Breakthrough in baptisia breeding = golden-yellow foliage combined with indigo blue flowers!
Focal point or background for other plants.
Like any other baptisia, this is trouble free plant, long-lived and tough plant with no pests or diseases.
Blooming Time: May
Size: 30-36" tall and wide
USDA Zones: 4 to 9
Culture: full sun, half shade (will tolerate light shade), adaptable to most of the soils (including acidic, poor soils or clay)
Moisture Needs: dry to average to (slightly) moist, adaptable
Origin: introduced by the Walters Gardens. Plant patent applied.
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: yes / yes
Attracts Hummingbirds: yes
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" deep perennial pot
Plant Combinations: Best in sunny flower beds, modern plantings (public and private), cottage gardens, water-wise plantings, pollinator gardens, prairie-type of plantings, naturalistic landscaping, combined with small shrubs, perennials and grasses. Baptisia is an adaptable and tough plant that can be used in wider range - in the drier beds (with drought tolerant plants), but also with moisture loving plants!
Best in the middle of the bed, as a background plant in small bed and also as solitaire plant. Good companions are majority of commonly available perennials like Agastache, Amsonia, Alchemilla, Anemone hupehensis, Aster, Coreopsis, Echinacea, Euphorbia, hardy, Geranium, Hemerocallis, Helianthus, Iris, Kalimeris, Leucanthemum, Monarda, Nepeta, Origanum, Paeonia, Penstemon, Perovskia, Phlox, Physostegia, Rudbeckia, Salvia, Sedum, Solidago, Stachys, Stokesia, Tradescantia, Vernonia, Veronica, Veronicastrum, etc. and ornamental grasses.
