Lemon Meringue Baptisia is an upright native perennial with robust clover-like blue-green foliage.  The raceme sporting cool lemon flowers on contrasting gray stems bloom above the foliage in late spring and early summer.  The blooms give way to large seedpods that blacken when ripe, providing ornamental interest.  Grows best with acidic well-drained soils.  Its abundant flowers are excellent pollination and butterfly attractors.
