Baptisia bracteata, otherwise known as longbract wild indigo, long-bract wild indigo, long-bracted wild indigo, and cream false indigo, is a perennial herbaceous plant that is native to the central and eastern United States.[1] It is one of the earliest blooming species of Baptisia, beginning to bloom in March in certain areas of the United States.[2] The bloom color ranges from white to creamy yellow.[3] As with many species of Baptisia, this species is attractive to many types of pollinators, specifically native bees, bumble bees and butterflies.[3]
