Golden Anniversary' False Indigo (Baptisia)

(False Indigo) Baptisia 'Golden Anniversary' brings brilliant color to late spring with lavender purple flower spikes that rise above a full, shrub-like mound of golden chartreuse foliage. The saturated blooms create a striking contrast in the landscape, offering long-lasting early-season interest and a durable, architectural presence even after flowering. This hardy perennial grows approximately 30-36 inches tall and wide, making it an excellent choice for mixed borders, cottage gardens, and prairie-style plantings. Suitable for Zones 4–9, it thrives in full sun to part sun in well-drained soil, developing impressive drought tolerance once established. Its tough habit and bitter foliage also make it naturally deer resistant, while the abundant blooms attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators throughout the season. With its bold color, easy-care nature, and dependable performance, Baptisia 'Golden Anniversary' is a standout choice for gardeners looking to add bright, foliage color, spring flowers and strong structure to their perennial beds year after year.
