Baptisia australis 'Decadence Dark Chocolate' DECADENCE® Series'

Rich chocolatey-purple flower spikes, each with a distinctive flash of yellow, rise from late spring to early summer, followed by attractive seed pods that blacken and persist through winter. The delicate, clover-shaped foliage on branching stems gives away its membership of the pea family, adding interest from spring right through to autumn.

Preferring a fairly fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny site, this striking border plant becomes impressively drought-resistant once established.

Bred to be more compact than other forms, it has wide appeal — equally at home in formal city and courtyard gardens as in relaxed cottage and prairie-style planting.
