Baptisia alba (leucantha)
White Wild Indigo
This shrubby-looking plant re-emerges each spring from fat shoots that resemble asparagus. Long spikes of creamy white flowers bloom on individual stalks held above yellow-green leaves in late spring. Flowers are followed by interesting blue-black pods about 2" long that can be used in dried arrangements.
