About Showy Partridge Pea

This native warm-season legume produces beautiful showy yellow flowers on short branches with fern-like leaves. Although this plant is an annual, the seeds form in delicate pea-like pods that burst open at maturity readily reseeding for the following year. Showy Partridgepea is good for soil building, roadsides, wildlife food, and will easily establish on disturbed soil sites. This flower blooms July through September. One packet contains 8 grams.
