Blue Baptisia - Baptisia Australis moonflower Forming a dense moundBaptisia australis, or blue false indigo, is a tough native perennial for a dry sunny spot in the landscape. Once established, a 3 foot wide clump of branches will give way to spikes of blue purple pea like flowers. Resistant to deer and drought, this plant is also tolerant of disease, so if you like a plant to mostly take care of itself, this one's for you. The branches will die down to the ground each winter, so that's a good time to tidy them up,
