30 Woolly Milkvetch Seeds Astragalus mollissimus Native Wildflower Prairie Garden

Woolly Milkvetch (Astragalus mollissimus) is a native perennial wildflower valued for its silvery, woolly foliage and dense spikes of small purple pea-like blooms. It brings soft texture and ecological character to prairie plantings, rock gardens, and native landscaping. Its fuzzy grey-green leaves and upright flower spikes offer a distinctive look through the growing season.
This wildflower works well in meadow mixes, pollinator gardens, and low-water landscapes. It grows best in well-drained soils and full sun, where it forms a tidy clumping habit. Allow spent blooms to mature for natural reseeding.
