Tony is such a wonderful teacher. I’m floored by his knowledge of Baptisia.

You have a great variety of baptisia and great information. Are your plants cultivars or hybrids?

[@kathyryan4153]

Love to see videos on ferns.

[@yoyoloach24]

The video was so great I just ordered a baptisia from your website!!! As a customer, I would humbly request that you do videos on Acanthus and Brugmansia in the summer.

A month ago I planted a baptisia australis (sp?) purchased from PDN because I wanted a native. Now I am worried that it will be too big and won't bloom much. Should have gotten the Minor variety.

I received my ivory towers a couple of weeks ago. I’ve planted them in the ground. Will I see blooms this year? If so, how long will it be in bloom? I’m in 7a Okla. these videos are great! I learn a lot and then spend a lot.

Hello! You may get a flower spike or two, they are still small when shipped. But no worries! Baptisias are fast growers and next year you should get some full sized flower spikes. Mature clumps flower for 2-3 weeks. Thank you for your support!

I was glad to learn that I could move my false indigo Yay!!! planted it i a wrong place too shady not getting the showiness that I'm seeing here....

[@Plantdelights]

Yes, you can transplant Baptisia and they do love sun above else! In our most recent Baptisia video we dig up a clump to show the root structure.

Mike Pence seems much happier doing this.

Looks nice but it sounds like it's invasive.
