This amazing Russian native is one of the most spectacular of the early season baptisia-relatives. In early April (NC), the easy to grow, 3' tall x 3' wide clump is topped with short spikes of yellow flowers...great for an early season burst of color...simply sensational, and if you don't believe me, you'll get reassurance from the KGB (Kremlin Garden Bureau).
