{"product_id":"periwinkle-popsicle-false-indigo-bare-root-plant","title":"Periwinkle Popsicle False Indigo - Bare Root Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeriwinkle Popsicle is an upright, dark blue false indigo with an elegant vase shape that is taller than it is wide. It flowers later than most baptisias, just as other varieties are finishing, which extends the season of blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt four to four and a half feet tall, it makes a strong backdrop in borders and meadows, and its narrow base leaves room for underplanting. It is easy to grow, very long lived once established, drought tolerant and deer resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong, upright spikes 10 to 14 inches of pea-shaped flowers in deep periwinkle to dark blue, held on tall stems above the leaves. Leaves are three-parted with oval blue-green leaflets. The plant is an upright, vase-shaped clump 48 to 54 inches tall and about 42 inches wide, narrower at the base. At peak bloom dark blue spires rise from the top of the vase-shaped plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeriwinkle Popsicle thrives in the same sunny, lean, well-drained soil as lavender, and its late dark blue spikes overlap lavender's first bloom, while its vase shape leaves room to plant lavender around its base.\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 Dark periwinkle blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue-green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, vase-shaped clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 ft–54 in tall × 42 in 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 Early-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-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).
