Baptisia 'Indigo Spires'
Choose Indigo Spires False Indigo if you want a sturdy, shrub-like perennial with dark violet spring flower spikes and good deer resistance. The tradeoff is space: it forms a broad clump and is not the right pick for narrow edging.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The upright violet flower spikes make a clear late-spring statement, then the plant settles into a quieter green mass. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It grows quickly for a long-lived perennial once it is settled in the bed. |
| Maintenance | B+ | Routine care is light, but mature plants do not like being dug up and moved. |
| 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 | C | Its bushy habit needs elbow room and can crowd narrow borders. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Indigo Spires for sunny mixed borders where the customer wants spring height, deer resistance, and a plant that can hold its place without constant dividing.
| Mature Height | 3.5 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 3.5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 4a-8b |

No, plan on one main late-spring flower show followed by clean foliage.
Leave the foliage during the growing season, then cut it down after frost or in early spring.
Yes, Baptisia is a strong pick for deer-prone areas, though no plant is guaranteed.

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!
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.
