Decadence® Deluxe 'Pink Lemonade' False Indigo

Decadence® Deluxe ‘Pink Lemonade’ is a compact false indigo whose soft-yellow flowers age to dusty raspberry purple, often showing both colors together. Deep blue-green foliage and a rounded, substantial clump make this distinctive selection useful as a border focal point. ## Landscape use Combine it with grasses or other late-spring perennials to echo the flowers’ changing colors. The exact-cultivar [Proven Winners profile](https://admin.provenwinners.com/plants/baptisia/decadence-deluxe-pink-lemonade-false-indigo-baptisia-hybrid) describes yellow blooms aging to raspberry purple, while [Walters Gardens](https://www.waltersgardens.com/variety.php?ID=BAPPI) confirms the cultivar and multicolored flower category. ## Size and siting Expect about 3½–4 feet in height and a similar spread, with variation by growing conditions. Full sun to part sun and well-drained soil are appropriate. Baptisia forms a deep taproot, so the [North Carolina Extension profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/baptisia/common-name/baptisia/) recommends choosing a lasting site; its genus guidance notes tolerance of dry or poor soil. The breeder lists USDA zones 4–9. ## Maintenance Water consistently while young and during prolonged drought; established plants are described as drought tolerant. Deadheading is optional, and leaving the seedpods can add fall texture. Avoid relocating mature plants because the deep root is difficult to move intact.
