This annual wildflower produces bright yellow flowers with reddish markings from midsummer into fall, creating a long-lasting display that attracts a constant stream of pollinators. The delicate, fern-like foliage gives the plant a soft texture that contrasts beautifully with bolder prairie flowers and grasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an annual, Partridge Pea grows quickly from seed and readily reseeds itself in suitable conditions, often returning year after year without becoming aggressive. It thrives in poor soils, tolerates heat and drought, and is frequently one of the first plants to colonize disturbed ground. Whether used in pollinator gardens, prairie restorations, or sunny flower beds, it brings color, movement, and ecological value throughout the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight: Full sun\u003cbr\u003eSoil: Dry to medium; adaptable to sandy, rocky, and poor soils\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 1–3 feet\u003cbr\u003eSpread: 1–2 feet\u003cbr\u003eZones: 3–9\u003cbr\u003eBloom time: July through September\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePartridge Pea is a powerhouse for pollinators and wildlife. The flowers attract native bees, bumble bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects throughout the summer. As a legume, it also supports specialized pollinators that collect pollen from its blooms. It serves as a host plant for several sulfur butterflies, including the Cloudless Sulphur, Orange Sulphur, and Sleepy Orange. Later in the season, birds and small mammals feed on the seeds, giving the plant value well beyond its flowering period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlooms Alongside:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/butterfly-weed-asclepias-tuberosa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ebutterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/common-bee-balm-monarda-fistulosa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ewild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/stiff-goldenrod-oilgoneuron-rigidum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003estiff goldenrod (oligoneuron rigidum\u003c\/a\u003e), \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/hoary-vervain-verbena-stricta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehoary vervain (Verbena stricta)\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/little-bluestem-schizachyrium-scoparium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFor more information, please check out our \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/pages\/sizes-and-pricing\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003esizes, pricing and ordering page\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pretty Wild","offers":[{"title":"plug","offer_id":45587037880499,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/0633\/1827\/files\/images_27481ab2-136f-40e9-905c-4897021e2755.jpg?v=1781893325","url":"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/partridge-pea-chamaecrista-fasciculata","provider":"Pretty Wild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
