Thanks for sharing. I started seeds early spring and now have a dozen seedlings. How close do you plant them? Is your specimen from a single seedling? It’s gorgeous 😍
Ultimately they should be at least 2-3 feet apart to avoiding crowding each other. The one featured in the video is a single plant, and it IS amazing! Thanks for watching!
I planted a gallon size baptisia 3 years ago..(this will be it’s 3rd summer)..i have never gotten flowers..it is in full sun…any ideas? Zone 6a (sw Michigan)..Ty!
Hmm, well you might get a soil test to make sure it is not too acidic (or deficient in some other way). Very acidic soil is thought to inhibit blooms on Baptisia. You might also just wait a couple more years. Sometimes they just take a while to get happy in their new spot before they start blooming! Good luck, and thanks for watching!
@@Gardenclips ..i just did a soil test..my soil is pretty close to neutral. It did show I was a bit deficient on NPK, (which I kind of doubted, since I have always worked in ferts and composted manure when I plant 🤔) … I have added some rabbit manure to start and will add some rock phosphate after a while too.
They naturally grow very, very deep roots so unless you have a 10 feet deep container they wont be able to grow the roots they'd like to. That doesn't necessarily mean it's not possible but it's not something we've seen before! If you decide to try it, let us know how it goes. Thanks for watching!
Such a gorgeous specimen to have... Yes, remain vigilant regarding aphids
It sure is! Thanks for watching!
Great info. Love this plant.
Thanks for watching!
love the tips on growing from seeds. can the matured plant roots be divided? if so when? thanks!

If it’s a hybrid, what would the parent be?

Can it grow in a large container? Zone 6
