Baptisia minor Melissa Blue Trachystemon a vigorous grower and one(syn: Baptisia australis var. minor A1T 002) If you have only grown Baptisia australis, then you've missed one of the best blue flowered members of the genus Baptisia. Baptisia minor is its little known cousin that's actually superior to Baptisia australis in garden value. Take a Baptisia australis and shrink the leaves and plant by about half, attach an 18 24" flower spike atop the clump, which is loaded with blue lavender flowers from mid April
