{"product_id":"blueberry-sundae-false-indigo-bare-root-plant","title":"Blueberry Sundae False Indigo - Bare Root Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlueberry Sundae has deep indigo blue flowers that are more vibrant than the common blue false indigo, held over a compact, upright mound. The floral display in late spring to early summer is strong and even.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts deep blue-green leaves stay handsome all summer, and ornamental seed pods carry interest into fall. It flowers at about three feet tall, fitting smaller gardens better than the species, though mature clumps can reach three and a half feet tall and spread five to six feet wide. It is vigorous, long lived and drought tolerant once established, and deer avoid it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpright spikes 8 to 12 inches long of pea-shaped flowers in deep, saturated indigo blue, held evenly above the foliage. Leaves are three-parted with oval leaflets in deep blue-green, densely covering the stems. The plant is a dense, upright mound about 32 to 36 inches tall and 3 feet wide at flowering, widening to 5 or 6 feet at maturity. At peak bloom the mound is topped with rich blue spikes; dark seed pods follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlueberry Sundae grows in the same sunny, lean, well-drained soil as lavender, and its deep indigo spikes bloom just ahead of lavender, making a smooth handoff of blue and purple color in the same bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun to part shade in lean to average, well-drained soil; the deep taproot makes it drought tolerant once established. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9. Choose a permanent spot, since established plants do not like to be moved; expect a couple of seasons to settle in, and cut back in late fall or leave the seed pods for winter interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Baptisia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep indigo blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep blue-green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, upright mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32–42 in tall × 36 in–6 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Great\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDormant bare-root plant, sold in boxes of 25 per variety (order in multiples of 25).
