Baptisia Decadence® 'Lemon Meringue' False Indigo

Proven Winners® Baptisia Decadence® brings bold structure and vibrant color to the garden with lemon yellow blooms set against rich, dark stems. This refined false indigo forms an upright, vase shaped mound of attractive green foliage, offering strong visual presence from the earliest stages of growth. From late spring into early summer, tall flower spikes rise above the foliage, delivering clear, luminous color that enhances borders and landscape plantings with confidence and clarity. Recognized as a Proven Winners National Landscape Perennial of the Year®, this selection reflects both beauty and proven garden performance.

Well suited for meadow plantings, mixed borders, and specimen use, Baptisia Decadence® creates lasting structure and seasonal interest. After flowering, ornamental seed pods extend the display into fall, adding texture and movement. It combines beautifully with ornamental grasses, echinacea, and other sun loving perennials, supporting layered plantings that evolve gracefully through the seasons.

Plant Baptisia Decadence® in full sun with average moisture and well drained soil. Once established, it is long lived, drought tolerant, and requires minimal care. Developed through advanced hybridizing by Hans Hansen using native Baptisia species from Texas and Oklahoma, this selection is part of the Decadence® series known for improved flower color, compact habit, and reliable garden performance.
