About Canada Milkvetch
This native legume has petals with yellow or green tints to creamy, greenish white. It prefers moist sites and is not recommended in dry upland soils. Three to four years is typically the plants lifespan. Canada Milkvetch is used for erosion control, forage, restoration projects and wildlife habitats. It's also a source of nectar for bumblebees and its seeds are eaten by wild turkeys. We suggest planting this seed in a mixture with other native plants. This perennial flower blooms in the summer. One packet contains 4 grams.
