Baptisia 'Dark Chocolate' PP30959

(Mature Size: 36"T x 36"W)

(NEW For 2026!)

• This Baptisia offers nearly black, charcoal purple flowers.
• Forms an incredibly full and bushy habit-a perfect substitution for shrubs if you're looking for structure in the garden.
• Baptisia is easy to grow and will thrive with little maintenance.
• There are many potential applications in the landscape including meadow plantings, as a backdrop in borders, or as a specimen.
• Plants are very long-lived once established.

Baptisia grows best in full sun, though it tolerates light shade. If grown in too much shade, plants may require staking. Baptisia is easily grown in poor to average soil that is well-drained. Once established, it is moderately drought tolerant because of its tough, deep taproot. This perennial native may take a couple of seasons to become established, but is very long-lived once mature. Avoid disturbing established clumps.
