    My understanding with partridge pea is that is will reseed like a champ! I planted a bunch this year and I’m excited to see it spread

  2. it is a lovely plant! I’m not sure what zone you are, but in North Florida, it blooms all summer long! and where i live, the wild bobwhite quail love them. 🙂

    Seen these at plant sales, but never in the wild.

  4. These grow all along northeastern Lake Michigan in the summer here in zone 5b 🙂

    I love these guys. I have two kinds back home.

  6. Ooo, looks just like the wolf senna I just bought (also a legume).

    They reseed amazingly and it’s easy to collect their seeds. I planted a BUNCH last year and collected seed so I’m watching their babies come up this year. The birds and the bees love them.

  8. If you look carefully along highways you will see this plant finding it’s space alongside some pretty intense invasives. Thing is an absolute champ – I lazily tossed seeds in my garden this past fall and a ton of it is popping up.
