Baptisia australis, also known as blue wild indigo or blue false indigo, is a perennial herb in the legume family. It is native to central and eastern North America and is commonly found in the Midwest. The plant has difficulty seeding itself due to parasitic weevils, but is not toxic to humans. Its name comes from the Greek word for "to dip" and the Latin word for "southern". It has several other common names and has been used as a substitute for indigo dye. The plant has a deep taproot and produces blue to violet flowers in early summer. It is commonly cultivated in gardens and has been hybridized with other species. Some Native American tribes have used the plant for dye, medicine, and children's toys.

Germination/Propagation Top
Suggest a correction or add new data!| Sow seeds at 20°C, expecting germination within 3 months without further temperature treatment. |
| Requires Soaking: These seeds need to be soaked in warm water until they swell, which can take 24-48 hours. Seeds that float are usually not viable and should be discarded, along with the soaking water. |
