Baptisia ‘Mojito’

7 Photos


Summary

Baptisia ‘Mojito’ impresses with a prolific floral display. The large, light yellow (almost greenish) flowers really create a strong visual impact on the relatively compact inflorescence. Unfortunately, the foliage tends to obscure the lower portion of the inflorescence. ‘Mojito’ did display some flopping this season; however, it was mostly isolated to just the flowering stems and was probably caused by a heavy rain storm.
