In richer soils or partial shade, it will sprawl, open up, and flop around—but not in an unwelcome way; it can be a charming feature as it drapes over boulders, ledges, or container edges.

You might recognize the soft oblong compound leaf shape from its many legume cousins like the mimosa tree seen growing on roadsides of southern states. Partridge Pea kind of grows like a tiny 2 ft tree from a single stock branches layer evenly to make room for mellow yellow flowers with burgundy centers that pop below ALL SUMMER LONG. After those flowers are pollinated, they become seed pods that look like garden peas which eventually turn brown and charismatically explode upon touch. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eFruits and Seeds: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eInconclusive edibility and medicinal qualities.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eHabit and habitat: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eA fast growing annual with a fibrous root system.

On top of buzz pollination, exploding seed pods, and charming yellow flowers, it is also a nitrogen fixer for the soil. But its real super-power is nyctinasty, or its ability to open and close its leaflets to respond to the sun and circadian rhythms. As you observe this plant, you’ll notice its leaves open and close in response to the sun. Often in the hottest hours of the day the leaflets shutter to conserve water. Occasionally you will find a specimen that responds to touch, earning it the nickname “Sensitive Plant”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northern Holler, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Annual","offer_id":48696407589114,"sku":"CHAM-FASC-01","price":5.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Veggie \u0026 Late Season Annual","offer_id":48696407621882,"sku":"CHAM-FASC-02","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/9929\/3946\/files\/20230816_195833381_iOS.jpg?v=1776570904"},{"product_id":"downy-sunflower","title":"Downy Sunflower (Helianthus Mollis)","description":"\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelianthus mollis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eDry full sun - sunflower.
