Baptisia ‘Carolina Moonlight’ is a distinctive upright, clumping perennial for the dry garden with showy buttery yellow flower spikes up.

Baptisia ‘Carolina Moonlight’ looks good growing with Allium hollandicum ‘Purple Sensation’, Agastache ‘Blue Fortune’, Echinacea purpurea ‘Magnus’ and Amsonia hubrichtii.  Baptisia ‘Carolina Moonlight’ grows best in full sun with well drained, average to poor soil. This is a very easy perennial with almost no health issues.  Yellow wild indigo is slow growing but drought tolerant once established.  It does not like to be disturbed so division is not recommended.  Baptisia ‘Carolina Moonlight’ is very long lived.
