Baptisia × 'Decadence® 'Vanilla Cream' is a compact, long-lived perennial grown for its soft yellow buds that open to creamy white flower spikes in late spring. You will appreciate its tidy, mounded habit and attractive foliage that looks good well after bloom.

Plant it where it can stay put, since Baptisia develops a deep root system and resents disturbance once established. Give it full sun for best flowering, and provide average to poor, well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first season to help it root in, then reduce watering as it becomes established; it shows good drought tolerance once established.

Mature size is about 30-36 inches tall with a spread around 36-42 inches, making it easy to fit into borders and mixed perennial plantings. Space plants so the mound can fill out without crowding, and avoid overly rich soils that can encourage floppy growth.

After flowering, you can leave the plant to develop its natural shape and enjoy the structural look of its pods. Cut back stems in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. This is a dependable choice when you want a refined, pale-flowering accent that performs year after year with minimal fuss.
