I started this plant from seed, once in the fall and once in late spring. Both times I soaked the seeds overnight in very warm water and planted in good potting soil.

About 50-60% germination.

Baptisia sphaerocarpa is native to Louisiana.

Self-colonized in a very old garden in full sun. Glorious when in bloom, no maintenance, no problems. Also called Yellow Wild Indigo.
