'Grape Escape' is a bold new entry in the Baptisia lineup—offering improved height, deeper flower color, and heavier bloom set compared to its predecessor, ‘Grape Taffy’. This refined selection features strong, upright stems topped with dusky red-purple flower spikes accented by contrasting cream keels. It adds vertical interest and rich color to spring borders and native-inspired plantings.

Maturing at 3.5–4 ft tall and wide, ‘Grape Escape’ holds excellent form throughout the season. Its deep, lupine-like flowers bloom in late spring to early summer, followed by attractive black seedpods for additional ornamental appeal. Like all Baptisia, it is exceptionally durable—tolerating drought, poor soils, deer, and neglect.

Easy to finish in 1- or 2-gallon containers and hardy in USDA Zones 4–9, this variety fits well into native plant programs, pollinator-focused displays, and water-wise installations. Long-lived and low maintenance, ‘Grape Escape’ is a landscape-ready perennial with reliable retail performance and broad ecological value.

A high-performance replacement for ‘Grape Taffy’, this variety is a must-add for growers seeking Baptisia with better branching, richer color, and increased flower density.
