‘Blue Towers’ is an improved selection derived from a cross of two drought-tolerant US native species, Baptisia australis and Baptisia alba. The strong upright form of ‘Blue Towers’ will be welcome in gardens where other perennials are planted nearby. The beautiful deep indigo blue flowers, held above the spikes of bluish green foliage in spring, have a commanding presence in the garden and are a favorite of butterflies. ‘Blue Towers’ is ideal in climates prone to full sun and drought conditions, while also being tolerant of seasonally wet soils.
