Native habitat and range
Both parents of Baptisia 'Whisperin' Yellow' can be found growing in grasslands and along roadsides. Baptisia sphaerocarpa hails from the south-central United States, mainly growing in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana, while Baptisia alba can be found in scattered locations throughout the southeastern United States.
Source and origin
Baptisia âWhisperinâ Yellowâ was created at Growing Wild Nursery and is a primary hybrid between Baptisia sphaerocarpa âScreaminâ Yellowâ (pollen parent) and a Baptisia alba (seed parent) from Wayne County, NC provenance. It inherits its compact growth habit and abundant flowers from Screamin' Yellow and its long flower spikes from alba. Plants are grown from cuttings here at the nursery.
