I am amazed at some of the info you gave us re: Baptisias. I let my 20 year old set seeds and drop, but have never gotten any new plants. I have purchased several yellows now, and the original one is a blue/ purple Baptisias australis, and is almost 4 feet in diameter by 3 q/2 feet tall. No flopping over, and not in full sun.
That's the magic of gardening, everyone's results are different because so many factors influence the life of a plant. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Super informative video as always! I’m fortunate to be able to grow both lupine and baptisia here in western Washington. My native lupine are in full bloom and easily 5ft tall with massive flower spikes. The baptisia are just starting to bloom. I acquired 3 types last year that I’m very excited to see flower this year. And I’m hoping to get my hands on the species with the gray/blue leaf or a hybrid with similar characteristics that I’ve seen in some of your other videos.
Your garden sounds wonderful! Baptisia x arachnifolia can be shipped out of state and has that beautiful silvery foliage, we should have some available next year. www.plantdelights.com/products/baptisia-arachnifolia
Hello! There are perennial lupines as well as annual ones. While the flowers of Baptisia and Lupines look similar, their foliage and growth habit is quite different.
I’m glad Tony Avent followed his calling. 😀

More to come!

I grow in zone 5 b so have to check all the info in these videos to make it appropriate to my much colder zone.

Super interesting!!
I’m curious. I purchased a lupine that was as sold as a perennial lupine. So it really a baptisia? Thanks for all the information.
