BLUE BAPTISTA
APPROXIMATE SEED COUNT PER PACKAGE: 25
All seed was grown in an open pollinated environment & harvested by hand here at Barefoot Ridge.
We cleaned, sorted and packaged all with care so you can share in the magic of growing all of these beautiful plants next season!
Stratify: If you're saving seeds for later, you can chill them in the fridge for 6–12 weeks.
Scarify: Wear down the hard seed coat with sandpaper or a sharp knife.
Soak: Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting.
Sow: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in a well-drained seed mix. You can sow them directly outdoors in late fall or early spring. You can also start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost.
Provide heat: Provide bottom heat at 75 °F until plants emerge.
Transplant: Transplant seedlings outside after the last spring frost, or in early autumn.
Be patient: Baptista plants grow slowly and may not bloom for at least 2–3 years.
Baptista, also known as false indigo or wild indigo, is a member of the pea family. It's native to the prairies of southern North America and can grow in USDA planting zones 5–9. Baptista prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
