Baptisia ‘Spiked Lemonade’, a 2026 JLBG/PDN introduction, still looks fabulous this week, nearly a month after the first, early baptisias began flowering. By using genes from the little-known Baptisia albescens, the foliage is much more airy, giving the plant a see-thru look. Those genes also create an amazing number of flowering side branches, extending the bloom time. This is a trait not found in any other baptisia species. The purple stalks and creamy flowers provide an amazing contrast. Because of its airy nature, this is one of the most difficult baptisias to take photographs that do it justice.
