I have these blooming down by the road! 💛 Partridge Pea is an annual and a legume so it fixes soil nitrogen and forms attractive maroon seed pods in the fall.
💛 This wildflower attracts bees and butterflies and the seed pods are eaten by gamebirds and songbirds. The plant provides excellent cover for gamebirds and browse for deer. Leaves collapse when touched, earning it the common name Sensitive-plant.
