A great choice for the shade garden. The bright yellow flowers really stand out in a dark corner. Blooms heavy in spring, then has sporadic blooms throughout the summer. Spreads very well to make a ground cover. Prefers rich woods soil, does not like much direct sun.
Flowers are purplish early in the spring.
Must have a bog area to grow in, will tolerate sun or shade if the soil is wet. This plant looks like a tall yellow Lupine. Has foliage like a Baptisia and blooms like a Lupine. Grows tall making it great for the back of your flower bed. Leave room for this one as it can have a 2-3' spread.
