Baptisia Aspiring Drosera This amazingly vigorous Japanese selectionBaptisia 'Aspiring' is an incredible 2014 Plant Delights JLBG hybrid that we introduced to the public in 2021. Baptisia 'Aspiring' forms a 4' tall x 4' wide, upright clump with so many 22" long flower spikes, you'll swear it was a staged glamour shot like so many mail order nurseries use. The medium lavender flowers make an absolutely amazing show, starting for us around May 1, which in NC is the near the beginning of baptisia flowering season.
