Decadence® Deluxe Pink Truffles™ False Indigo

Decadence® Deluxe ‘Pink Truffles’ is an upright false indigo with soft-pink flower spikes that lighten toward lavender and deep blue-green foliage. Its multi-stemmed clump provides a refined late-spring display for perennial borders, urban gardens and specimen plantings. ## Landscape use The [Proven Winners profile](https://serv3.provenwinners.com/plants/baptisia/decadence-deluxe-pink-truffles-false-indigo-baptisia-hybrid) describes pink flowers aging to lavender, compact form and late-spring bloom. [Walters Gardens](https://www.waltersgardens.com/variety.php?ID=BAPPT) lists the exact cultivar, pink flowers and mature dimensions. ## Size and siting Published size is about 4–4½ feet tall and 3–4 feet wide; actual form varies with age and conditions. Give the plant room to form a permanent clump in full sun to part sun and well-drained soil. The [North Carolina Extension Baptisia guide](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/baptisia/common-name/baptisia/) notes that the genus tolerates dry and poor soils but develops a deep taproot that makes transplanting difficult. The breeder lists USDA zones 4–9. ## Maintenance Water regularly during establishment and during prolonged dry periods. Established Baptisia is drought tolerant. No routine deadheading is required; leave pods for fall interest or remove old stems when desired. Avoid moving a mature clump because its deep root system is difficult to transplant.
