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. |
| Screening Value | D | It is a flowering perennial, not a privacy plant. |
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.
