Partridge pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata, syn. Cassia fasciculata) is a colorful native annual legume bearing attractive yellow flowers with reddish-purple basal spots. Its feathery, compound leaves resemble those of sensitive plant. The pea-pod fruits add late-season interest and attract birds. As a host plant for several butterfly species, it's a valuable addition to wildlife gardens.
Collect seeds in late summer or fall; plant in fall or stratify until spring. Self-seeds readily. Moderate maintenance; excellent for meadow gardens, naturalizing, and beds. Attracts songbirds, butterflies, and beneficial insects.
