Care Tips:
1. Sunlight: Place your Blue Indigo Baptisia Australis in a location with full sun to light shade. It prefers at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering.
2. Soil: Well-draining soil is essential for this plant. It can tolerate a variety of soil types, but it thrives in slightly alkaline, sandy, or loamy soils.
3. Watering: While it's drought-tolerant once established, water your Blue Indigo Baptisia regularly during its first growing season. Once mature, it can withstand dry spells.
4. Pruning: After flowering, you can trim back the spent flower spikes to encourage a more compact and bushy growth habit. Pruning also helps prevent self-seeding.
5. Pest and Disease Resistance: Baptisia Australis is relatively resistant to pests and diseases, making it an eco-friendly choice for your garden.
6. Divide and Propagate: Every 3-4 years, consider dividing mature plants to maintain their vigor and health. This is a great way to create additional plants for your garden or share with fellow gardening enthusiasts.
