Baptisia 'Lemon Meringue'
Choose Decadence® Lemon Meringue False Indigo if you want upright late-spring yellow bloom structure in a deer-resistant perennial. The tradeoff: Baptisia settles in deep and is not a plant you’ll want to move later.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The yellow flower spikes give strong late-spring structure without needing a loud color scheme. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It grows quickly once it starts, but Baptisia may take a little patience to look settled. |
| Maintenance | B+ | Once established it asks for little beyond seasonal cleanup, but mature plants are difficult to move. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | B | Its compact habit helps, but it still needs room to form a proper mound. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend placing Baptisia where it can stay for the long run, with enough elbow room around nearby perennials so the mound can develop cleanly.
| Mature Height | 3 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 3 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 4a-9b |
| Spacing | 3 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun to Part Shade |
| Moisture | Average to moist |
| Growth Habit | Upright, shrub-like clumping |
No, the main show is late spring; grow it for structure after bloom.
Not easily; Baptisia forms deep roots and dislikes being disturbed.
Yes, deer resistance is one of the better reasons to choose it.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
