PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The creamy-to-violet flowers and blue-green mound give strong late-spring presence.
Growth Rate
B
It is slow to establish but long-lived, building into a substantial clump over a few years.
Maintenance
A-
Once established it is very durable and low-maintenance; leave it in place and cut back in spring.
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
It matures to 3.5-4 feet wide, so give it room in mid-size and larger beds.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Lunar Eclipse for customers who want a native, deer-resistant anchor perennial. Be patient the first year or two while it establishes deep roots, and plant it where it can stay put.

Customers Usually Ask
Why is it slow at first?
Baptisia puts energy into deep roots early, then bulks up; it rewards patience.
Should I move it if needed?
Avoid it; it has deep roots and resents transplanting, so pick the spot carefully.
Is it native?
Yes; Baptisia is a North American native and a strong pollinator plant.

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!

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!
