Everwilde Farms - 1 lb Panicled Tick Trefol Native Wildflower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

Blossoming in late summer, these rare pink wildflowers will captivate any nature-lover. This variety is not as showy but is a great species to build the genetic diversity of a native planting. Please be aware that the hairy seed pods that develop can stick to pets or clothing. This nitrogen-fixing native legume is a crucial food source for wild birds such as northern bobwhites, ruffed grouse, and wild turkeys. It also acts as a larval host for numerous butterflies including eastern tailed blue and silver spotted skipper. This plant's genus name Desmodium means "long chain," a reference to the unique segmented seed pods of this plant. The common nickname "Stick Tights" comes from the tendency of these seed pods to stick to everything they touch.
