An unusually beautiful and exceptionally easy-to-grow and long-lived North American native perennial, ‘Lemon Meringue’ is a vigorous selection forming an upright vase-shaped mound of attractive blue-green foliage from which rise charcoal stems that hold lemon-yellow flowers. After the flowers come ornamental seed pods that extend the season of interest into fall. Kids will love to shake and rattle the seed pods!

 

The roots of the DECADENCE® series run deep. What started as a fun botanizing trip in the lower Midwest with a fellow horticulturist blossomed into a complex hybridizing project for breeder Hans Hansen. Hans has made countless crosses with the many native Baptisia species he has collected across Texas and Oklahoma. These crosses have resulted in an array of seedlings with unique flower colors and plant habits. Only the very best have made it into the new DECADENCE® Series, which includes varieties selected for their desirable flower colors and shorter, more compact habit.
