(aka: Baptisia PDN2006-161) Baptisia 'Dark Net' is a 2017 Plant Delights Nursery introduction that we released for garden designers who like something truly unique. Using genes from a special PDN-discovered form of the little-known native Baptisia albescens, Baptisia 'Dark Net' emerges and begins flowering with little or no foliage showing...a classic see-through plant. The emerging 5' tall jet black stems are woven together like a dark net, finally opening to reveal the 2' long spikes of small, creamy white flowers...a truly unique and airy texture. Baptisia 'Dark Net' is a mid to late season bloomer, starting for us in NC around May 1. The small glaucous green leaves begin to emerge after the first few flower stalks have opened.
