Baptisia 'Solar Flare' 23W23 Baptisia F2-

Baptisia 'Solar Flare' 23W23 Baptisia F2- (Ault, 2009) PRAIRIE BLUES™ Wild Indigo Baptisia, Mature plant size: 48x80in., YELLOW, lemon yellow flowers, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month 6a, In Garden Bed F2 for 6.0 YEARS (Hallson). Planted in 2017.

 

Mt.Cuba Center: Baptisia ‘Solar Flare’ has an impressive floral display, with numerous 21” inflorescences; however, this cultivar becomes floppy right around the time it reaches peak bloom. Given the numerous options for a yellow-flowered Baptisia, it is hard to recommend ‘Solar Flare’ over cultivars like ‘Sunny Morning’, ‘Lemon Meringue’ and ‘Screamin’ Yellow’.

 

Baptisia 'Solar Flare' Prairieblues™ is a large hybrid Baptisia with lemon yellow flowers that develop a rusty orange blush, blooming in early summer on 2' long spikes over a mound of blue-green foliage. Overall the clumps can grow up to 4' tall and wide. (PP#20408). Mt. Cuba rating 3.9

 

2021 note: Seems to sucker?
