Baptisia
'Pink Truffles'
false indigo
Baptisia 'Pink Truffles' is a beautifully poised false indigo from the Decadence Deluxe Series, bringing soft colour and strong structure in one very civilised package. In early summer, dark buds open into elegant, lupin-like spires of salmon-pink to soft rose flowers, the kind of shade that flatters almost everything around it. Compact and bushy, Baptisia 'Pink Truffles' has a naturally well-shaped habit, so it looks composed without constant fussing. Its pea-like blooms rise above fresh, divided foliage, creating a light but architectural presence in sunny borders. Plant Baptisia 'Pink Truffles' with grasses, salvias or dusky-leaved perennials for a refined, painterly effect.
Once established, Baptisia 'Pink Truffles' is wonderfully dependable, forming a long-lived clump that asks for little beyond good drainage and a sunny position. The flowers bring a gentle warmth from late spring into summer, followed by attractive seed pods that add interest as the season mellows. Like many false indigo varieties, it is drought tolerant once settled, making it a smart choice for modern, lower-maintenance planting. Baptisia 'Pink Truffles' is particularly useful where you want the romance of pink flowers without anything too sugary. Elegant, sturdy and quietly unusual, Baptisia 'Pink Truffles' earns its place with the calm confidence of a perennial that knows exactly what it is doing.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
