{"product_id":"illinois-bundle-flower-desmanthus-illinoensis","title":"Illinois Bundle Flower (Desmanthus illinoensis)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIllinois Bundle Flower is a unique and highly functional native legume that combines delicate, fern-like beauty with exceptional ecological benefits. This bushy perennial grows 2 to 4 feet tall and is easily recognized by its twice-pinnately compound leaves that fold up when touched or in bright sunlight. In mid-summer, it produces unusual, globe-shaped clusters of white flowers that look like fuzzy little balls. These are followed by distinctive, curved seed pods that bunch together in decorative 'bundles,' persisting into winter and providing visual interest. Native to prairies, stream banks, and open woods across the central United States, it is a deep-rooted survivor that thrives in full sun and various soil types. As a nitrogen-fixer, it is excellent for soil restoration, and its protein-rich seeds are a top-tier food source for northern bobwhite, wild turkeys, and other songbirds. It is easy to grow from seed and is a must-have for any wildlife-focused or restoration-style planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–4 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil moisture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jul–Aug (Yellow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Legume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to 31 states, including Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/database.hokseynativeseeds.com\/species\/desmanthus-illinoensis\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee the full growing guide and county range map for Illinois Bundle Flower\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoksey Native Seeds","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":50926626373829,"sku":null,"price":4.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":50926626406597,"sku":null,"price":15.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 lb","offer_id":50926626439365,"sku":null,"price":30.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":50926626472133,"sku":null,"price":59.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":50926626504901,"sku":null,"price":282.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/6567\/1365\/files\/ill_bundleflower_mat1_AAB9D33157AF0.jpg?v=1793656404","url":"https:\/\/hokseynativeseeds.com\/products\/illinois-bundle-flower-desmanthus-illinoensis","provider":"Hoksey Native Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
