I've just received a catalogue from Dobies listing drought tolerant plants and this is one of their suggestions. 'Twilight Prairieblues' looks pretty and as its a member of the pea family (which do well in my garden) I thought I might give it a try, but its a bit expensive, so I wondered whether any of you grow this?

I quite like it. I saw it in the Cambridge Botanic last June. It is quite tall and possibly a bit coarse.

Definitely. It is different too. When I saw it at Cambridge it made me stop to look at it.

I managed to raise a couple of plants from seed last year Peony. Mine are Baptisia australis Caspian Blue False Indigo.
I still have a few seeds left if you would like to try them. The packet says they are "Hardy Exotics"......dunno if they would be ok outdoors?

Thank you Lou, I would like to try them  I looked your 'Caspian Blue' up on the RHS site and it has been given an AGM and they say it is hardy, so should be OK outside. |

The huge clump of Baptisia at Cambridge Botanic was at the end of an island bed, outside and not particularly sheltered.
