Chamaecrista fasciculata (Partridge Pea) Seed
Description
Chamaecrista fasciculata, commonly known as Partridge Pea, is a fast-growing annual wildflower native to prairies, roadsides, and sandy soils across North America. It features bright yellow, pea-like flowers with reddish spots at the base of the petals, blooming from mid-summer to early fall. Its fern-like, pinnate leaves are sensitive to touch and fold up when disturbed, adding an interactive element to gardens.
Partridge Pea is a vital plant for pollinators, providing nectar for bees, butterflies, and other insects. Its seeds are an essential food source for game birds like quail and turkeys, while its nitrogen-fixing roots enrich the soil. This low-maintenance plant is commonly used in meadow mixes, erosion control, and habitat restoration, thriving in poor soils and full sun.
