Notes and stories:
I like the following description from the ProvenWinners website (with small edits) --
“The delectable lemon-yellow flowers contrast handsomely with the striking dark charcoal-colored stems. From the Decadence Series, Baptisia Lemon Meringue offers luscious, ultra-colorful flower spikes that adorn the compact, well-branched foliage. Suitably named for a decadent dessert, its deliciously enticing hues will leave you wanting more – the finishing touch to any garden.”
According to the PW website, baptisia is deer resistant. However, soon after I took the beautiful profile picture, several branches of the baptisia plant were knocked down, although not eaten, at night. I still don’t know which animal was responsible. Now I’m waiting for the new blooming season.
