Illinois Tick Trefoil gets a bad rap for the velcro seed pods that can stick on fur and clothes. Though the petals are spread throughout a tall stem, they change from white to purple throughout the blooming season. Since it is a legume, the seeds are also very desirable to wildlife. If you are wanting to attract deer, pheasants, quail, and turkey, Illinois Tick Trefoil should be a key piece to your prairie.
