Baptisia Cloud 9 Abutilon all adorned with violet veiningBaptisia 'Cloud 9' is a 2020 Plant Delights JLBG introduction that we planted as a seedling in 2006. Each year, Baptisia 'Cloud 9' is one of the finest early season baptisia in our fields, so we decided to share. The compact 4' tall clumps are densely clothed with a mass of blue green foliage, topped in 20" spikes of large blue lavender flowers. After flowering, the clump continues to grow, eventually reaching 66" wide, so leave enough room.
