Decadence^® 'Lemon Meringue' False Indigo Baptisia hybrid

I have 2 of these in my perennial bed. They produce beautiful abundant flowers and even when the blooms are done the foliage is pretty. However, they have thrived so well in my garden that they are crowding out the other plants around them. Also, I thought the seed heads were interesting so I left them on the plants and cut them down in spring. Big mistake. They have reseeded all over the garden and in the grass. This year I deadheaded all of the stems when the flowers were done. I would update your description the say that, yes to deadheading.

I ordered this plant from proven winners along with other 10 plants over month and a half and the plant won’t grow past the point i received it on. It hasn’t even sprouted new steams or flowered. I water them daily. I also had a second package that was delivered to me but was not found when I got home. I called proven winners and they wouldn’t assist me with that anymore, said it was a matter for the police now. I’m a little too disappointed to have ordered over $300 in plants and I can’t even tell they made a difference in my garden. I was so looking forward to my garden but this has made me so disappointed. Don’t buy online, I recommend going to a nursery and picking out healthy plants on your own.

If this is the right plant, birds must drop seeds, because they’ve all but taken over our island in the front yard. They ate pretty, but then get spindley looking and I cut them down until only the green leaf like bottoms are seen! It definitely comes up every year, and most places we haven’t planted!

This is a beautiful plant and the flowers are a lovely yellow. However, while it is supposed to attract bees and butterflies, mine certainly does not. The plant produced all of two seed pods this year and virtually none in the years before that. My species baptisia australis does much much better at attracting pollinators (mostly bees).

Ok I bought this from a nursery and it looked so attractive with the yellow flowers. I planted it in early Spring now it’s summer and the plant is doing well no flowers though .. but the foliage is very nice. I am having to transplant because even if it says DEER RESISTANT it’s not and the deer keep munching the new growth. I am planting on other side of my garden bed to see how it does there and no excess to deer as it will be in the back .
