{"product_id":"partridge-pea-chamaecrista-fasciculata","title":"Partridge Pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePartridge Pea is a charming annual legume that provides a fast-growing burst of color and significant ecological benefits to sunny sites. Reaching 1 to 3 feet in height, it features delicate, fern-like foliage that is sensitive to the touch, folding slightly when brushed. Throughout the summer and into early fall, it produces large, asymmetrical yellow flowers with a touch of red at the base. While these flowers do not produce nectar, they are a vital source of pollen for bumblebees and other large pollinators. As a nitrogen-fixing plant, it naturally enriches the soil, making it an excellent 'pioneer' species for restoration projects. Its seeds are a high-quality food source for Northern Bobwhite and other ground-feeding birds, while its foliage serves as a larval host for several sulfur butterflies. Native to much of the eastern and central United States, Partridge Pea thrives in full sun and well-drained, often sandy soils. As an annual, it relies on self-seeding to return each year, so allow the seed pods to mature and shatter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–3 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full to Partial\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–Sep (Yellow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild Turkey food, Legume, Annual, Sand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to 35 states, including Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/database.hokseynativeseeds.com\/species\/chamaecrista-fasciculata\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee the full growing guide and county range map for Partridge Pea\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoksey Native Seeds","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":50926591836357,"sku":null,"price":3.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":50926591869125,"sku":null,"price":6.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 lb","offer_id":50926591901893,"sku":null,"price":12.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":50926591934661,"sku":null,"price":23.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":50926591967429,"sku":null,"price":111.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/6567\/1365\/files\/IMG_3811_1.jpg?v=1793654999","url":"https:\/\/hokseynativeseeds.com\/products\/partridge-pea-chamaecrista-fasciculata","provider":"Hoksey Native Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
