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 a large black pod. 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.
