Undemanding to soil. Can grow on shifting sands and infertile clay soils. Tolerates moisture deficit well. Does not require careful maintenance.
Reproduction: by dividing the bush in early spring or after flowering in early July. It can also be propagated by seeds, which are planted in the winter at a depth of 2-3 cm.
Germination: pour boiling water over the seeds, soak for 1-3 days (until they swell noticeably).
Keep the crops at +20ºC. Seed germination takes more than two weeks.
Use: for rock gardens.
Baptisia is not often found in our rock gardens, although this unpretentious plant feels great in our northern climate zone and deserves to be widely distributed in alpine gardens. It is good in cutting. It produces simpatic fruits.
