We are thrilled to be able to offer this 2002 introduction from the late Rob Gardner. Baptisia 'Carolina Moonlight' was discovered by Rob as a random seedling at the NC Botanical Garden. This cross of North American natives Baptisia sphaerocarpa and Baptisia alba produces a vigorous, easy-to-grow, deer-resistant, 3' wide garden specimen of blue-green foliage. Baptisia 'Carolina Moonlight' is topped in late spring with stunning 18" spikes of soft buttery-yellow flowers. This great lupine substitute is long-lived, heat-loving, and drought-tolerant...you can't say the same for true lupines!
