Our #1 grade bare root<br />
Baptisia averages 3-5<br />
eyes each.<br />
Finished plants from<br />
bare root have 2-3<br />
strong stems each and<br />
lush foliage that fills out<br />
the pot nicely.<br />
Why are<br />
Bare Root<br />
Baptisia better?<br />
Since Baptisia cannot be<br />
imported from overseas, it’s<br />
important to find a reliable<br />
American supplier. Few,<br />
if any, wholesale growers<br />
in the US other than<br />
Walters Gardens, Inc.<br />
offer bare root Baptisia.<br />

This native perennial<br />
thrives in the<br />
sandy loam soil of West<br />
Michigan. A typical<br />
#1 grade Baptisia has<br />
3-5 eyes and 2-3 stems<br />
compared to just 1 in<br />
plug form. These bare<br />
root liners result in<br />
much larger finished<br />
plants in containers<br />
than their smaller<br />
plug-grown counterparts,<br />
offering a much<br />
greater value for the<br />
end consumer.<br />
