100 Seeds Partridge Pea Chamaecrista fasciculata Native Wildflower Annual

Partridge Pea, also known as Chamaecrista fasciculata, is a native annual wildflower valued for its delicate yellow blooms and airy, fern-like foliage. It grows quickly through the warm season, adding bright color and fine texture to meadows, pollinator gardens, and naturalized areas, and it adapts well to a range of sunny, open sites.

This plant works well in wildflower mixes, prairie plantings, borders, and container displays, where its soft green leaflets and small yellow flowers create a light, informal effect. It is a warm-season grower that flowers over an extended period, and the blooms are followed by slender seed pods. It performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and moderate moisture.
