Baptisia 'Blue Towers' 6/2021 Baptisia- () False Indigo Baptisia, Mature size: 58x56", lavender blue flowers, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month 5c, In Garden Bed J2,02 for 4.0 YEARS (Hallson). Planted in 2017.
Mt.Cuba Center: Baptisia 'Blue Towers' is a large, yet relatively narrow, blue-flowered cultivar. There are numerous tall, violet-blue inflorescences, and the individual flowers are held so close together on the inflorescence that they almost look like an incredibly tall hyacinth flower. 'Blue Towers' is very similar to 'Ivory Towers' in
habit (58"h x 56"w) with a slender, vase-shaped silhouette and leafless lower stems. The emerging stems are also an attractive dark gray that fades to a lighter gray as they elongate.
Baptisia 'Blue Towers' forms a tall, 4 1/2' vase-shape clump with 20in. flower stalks that carry large periwinkle to lavender blue flowers in early summer. This upright form allows space to plant around it and the height makes for a great background plant. (PP#27088). Mt. Cuba rating 4.7
