Wild indigo (Baptisia tinctoria) is an upright, smooth, shrubby perennial which typically grows 2-3' tall and occurs in open woods and fields. It features small, bright yellow to cream, pea-like flowers. The leaves are stalkless, clover-like, trifoliate, and gray-green in color. Blooms in late spring to early summer. Flowers give way to small-inflated seedpods, which turn black when ripe.
