Description

The first of its kind, ‘Pink Lemonade’ is a beautiful bicolor Baptisia featuring tall spikes of soft yellow flowers that change to dusty raspberry-pink to purple as they age. Charcoal color stems really make the flowers pop. Very full and bushy plants grow in an upright vase shape providing a vertical accent in the garden. Added interest of large seed pods well into fall can be useful in dried flower arrangements, and your kids or grandkids will enjoy shaking the pods to hear them rattle. Decadence Pink Lemonade Baptisia is a very long-lived native perennial that is exceptionally easy to grow and low maintenance.

The roots of the DECADENCE® series run deep. What started as a fun botanizing trip in the lower Midwest with a fellow horticulturist blossomed into a complex hybridizing project for breeder Hans Hansen. Hans has made countless crosses with the many native Baptisia species he has collected across Texas and Oklahoma. These crosses have resulted in an array of seedlings with unique flower colors and plant habits. Only the very best have made it into the new DECADENCE® Series, which includes varieties selected for their desirable flower colors and shorter, more compact habit.

Landscape / Garden Uses

Growing 3.5 to 4 feet tall and equally as wide, Pink Lemonade Baptisia is ideal for use an accent or grouping in perennial and meadow gardens and even landscape borders. Its upright growth habit serves well as a centerpiece or vertical accent in larger container gardens. A fine addition to butterfly gardens, pollinator gardens, meadow gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and low water needs gardens.

Growing Preferences

Pink Lemonade Baptisia is very easy to grow in a moist to dry well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. We suggest at least 4 hours or more of sunlight for best flowering. Tolerates poor and dry soils when established. A constantly soggy or wet soil can cause root rot. Plants can be cut back near the ground in late winter before new growth begins to emerge.
