Summary
Baptisia ‘Lemon Meringue’ is a vigorous cultivar that demonstrated significant increases in the number of stems and inflorescences year after year. This ability to produce a mature plant faster than other selections is a valuable attribute among a generally slow-growing genus. ‘Lemon Meringue’ has an impressive floral display that lasts for three weeks, with gray stems and flower buds that help accentuate the sunshine-yellow flowers. The flower color of ‘Lemon Meringue’ is lighter than ‘Screamin’ Yellow’, ‘Sunny Morning’, and ‘Anne’ but darker than ‘Carolina Moonlight’. ‘Lemon Meringue’ is a medium-sized cultivar that maintains a lush, broadly vase-shaped habit all season.
