Mark Weathington of the JC Raulston Arboretum introduces us to Baptisia, a colorful native North Carolina plant. Both deer resistant and drought tolerant, Baptisia is an easy to grow addition to your garden.
Every month, Homegrown will share new videos featuring timely tips and tools from our Extension experts in three categories: On The Farm, In The Garden and In The Kitchen.

Maybe next time you could continue on with notes on dividing, transplanting. Sharing where on the plant and when to divide as well. Since we are talking transplanting, soil preferences would be of interest as well. 😀
Highly toxic to pets if ingested.
They grow well in my dry sandy soil (some areas of my yard are like a sandbox).
I read that they dislike being transplanted so I was scared but omg I did it early spring and it rebounded like it was never moved. It was a mess to do because the roots have a lot of tubers but it grew back full force.
If you have crappy sandy dry soil, this is the plant for you. I LOVE this plant and I’m getting more.
That yellow sure is pretty!
Thanks for the laugh about letting all the fall sticks blow into my neighbors yard!
Nice video, awesome!

I always love "how-to" and informative videos like this, that get to the subject right away and present the information clearly and concisely, and your video is a great example of that. Thanks very much for putting it together. 👍
I planted a Baptista this spring, purchased from Plant Delights. I understand it may take them a season to bloom. It has looked healthy with no blooms yet. My concern is that the salvias I planted nearby appear to be crowding the Baptista out. I am wondering if I can transplant it now. I'm on Long Island, NY. Thanks!
Are Baptisia okay to grow in the front of the house. I read they have deep roots.
I believe they would be. I think when people worry about planting too close to a home it’s usually due to tree roots or large woody shrubs. Those roots are tough and can seek out water, and might seek out cracks in the foundation, pipes underground, or especially your septic field and do damage there. Herbaceous perennials like baptisia don’t have those same tough roots, so 99% they will be fine. Now you may have more trouble growing very close to a house just because the overhangs will starve the plants of water :)
