Summary
Baptisia ‘Crème de Menthe’ is one of the most striking cultivars in our trial thanks to its incredibly dark-gray, almost purple, stems. Even when the stems are just emerging from the ground, this cultivar has a true presence in the garden that can’t be missed. ‘Crème de Menthe’ also maintains its dark stem color much longer than other selections, which serves as a striking complement to its pale yellow flowers. ‘Crème de Menthe’ is a compact cultivar whose habit is approximately 36”h x 46”w when in peak fower.
