Prairies and associated or similar dry open roadsides, railroads, and fencerows. A conspicuous glaucous bushy herb a meter or more tall, with showy white flowers and large black pods. The leaves usually blacken in drying. Some recent records from disturbed sites may be escapes from plantings, even in regions where the plant also occurs as a native. A recent Washtenaw County collection from the margin of a small retention pond created for a parking lot was presumably from a planted occurrence and is not mapped.
Sometimes recognized as Baptisia alba (L.) Vent. var. macrophylla (Larisey) Isely.
