Baptisia arachnifera is the most unique member of the genus. Each 2' tall x 5' wide clump is adorned with clasping, silvery-grey, eucalyptus-like, hairy leaves. Baptisia arachnifera is a compact grower for a special spot in the rock garden and is topped with short terminal spikes of yellow flowers, starting for us in early July...long after most other baptisias have finished flowering. Baptisia arachnifera is also late to emerge in spring, so don't get worried when it's not the first thing out of the ground.
