This shrub-like herbaceous perennial is long-lived, vigorous, and easy to grow. Carolina Moonlight baptisia produces soft buttery yellow, pea-like flowers that are borne in late May on 18” long spikes displayed well above 3’-4’ tall plants with blue-green trifoliate foliage. Mature plants can produce 40-50 blooms per spike. The best flowering occurs in full sun with average to dry, well drained soil. Combine in the garden border or meadow landscape with Baptisia ‘Purple Smoke’, Gillenia trifoliata ‘Pink Profusion’, Schizachyrium scoparium, Panicum virgatum, Asclepias incarnata, Rudbeckia fulgida, and Liatris spicata.
