Additional Information: White Wild Indigo is a striking native wildflower known for its tall spikes of white pea-like flowers that emerge in late spring. Its deep taproot allows it to thrive in dry conditions, making it a great choice for prairie plantings and drought-tolerant gardens. After blooming, it produces distinctive black seed pods that add visual interest to the landscape. This plant is highly attractive to pollinators, including bees and butterflies, and its bushy, upright form provides structure and texture in native plantings. Due to its long lifespan and adaptability, Baptisia alba is an excellent choice for naturalized landscapes, pollinator gardens, and prairie restorations.
