Description
The Baptisia 'Cherries Jubilee' is a perennial plant from the legume family. Its ancestors, including the well-known Baptisia australis, are all native to the prairies and woods of the eastern and central United States. They grow among tall grasses without care, perfectly tolerating frost and dry summers.
The 'Cherries Jubilee' variety forms a bushy and branched clump reaching 80 cm (31.5 in) to 1.10 m (3.6 ft) in all directions. Flowering occurs in June in papilionaceous flower spikes with unusual tones for hybrids. The overall impression of this flowering is a very nuanced orange abundance, resulting from a mix of fawn, old pink, and yellow. The foliage disappears in winter and is also very ornamental as it sways in the wind. It comprises leaves divided into three round leaflets resembling those of alfalfa or clover.
Baptisia are close cousins of lupins, which are much better known in Europe but are much less demanding in terms of humidity, although they share a preference for acidic soils. They have robust roots that allow them to live for a long time in our gardens but require time to establish themselves. A truly visual plant, the 'Cherries Jubilee' indigo lupin can be planted in a romantic, dry, or natural garden. It is also useful for decorating a degraded plot, which often surrounds a recently built house. They look stunning alongside roses, Camassia leichtlinii 'Alba Semiplena', Eremurus himalaicus and Allium bulgaricum. It also pairs well with purple toadflaxes and hybrid mulleins, which are equally spectacular.

Planting and care
Growing Baptisia 'Cherries Jubilee' requires some skill to ensure a successful harvest. This perennial does not tolerate chalky soils and prefers light, well-draining soils. However, it can tolerate summer drought. During the first year of cultivation, the plant may appear dormant, which is normal. Young baptisia plants grow slowly and have fragile taproots that require deep anchoring in the soil. Be careful not to damage the taproot during planting, and avoid leaving the young plant in its bucket for too long, as it could cause the taproot to bend when it reaches the bottom.
Optionally, you can add a small handful of phosphate fertiliser as a root stimulant mixed with the soil when planting. Add 1/3 sand and 1/3 gravel for heavy soil to ensure good drainage, which is essential. Water moderately during the first year.
The plant will be established in the second or third year and will not require any special care. It can flower profusely for many years. Remember that voles are also fond of its fleshy roots, so take necessary precautions to protect your harvest.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
