Decadence® 'Vanilla Cream II' False Indigo (Baptisia hybrid)

Meet 'Vanilla Cream II' Baptisia – the perennial that’s as stunning as it is low-maintenance! This beauty has all the charm of its predecessor, but with a little extra flair. Compact and perfectly rounded, it blooms earlier and boasts longer, showier inflorescences. Dark, dramatic charcoal stems support 16-18” panicles of creamy white flowers that seem to last forever, thanks to its branching habit that brings you a second (and sometimes third) flush of blooms. Once flowering finishes, the seed pods start to form, deepening in color and sticking around to add texture well into fall.

Drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and practically effortless to grow, Vanilla Cream II is the perfect pick for those who want a beautiful garden without the hassle. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this easy-care native perennial will thrive with minimal attention. Get ready to fall in love with a plant that practically takes care of itself!
