100 Partridge Pea Seeds Heirloom Non-GMO – Chamaecrista Fasciculata for Flower Garden

Partridge Pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata) is a native annual wildflower prized for its bright yellow, five-petaled blooms that appear from mid-summer through early fall. The flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, while the plant's feathery green foliage and distinctive seed pods add texture and seasonal interest to naturalized areas, meadows, and pollinator gardens.

This heirloom, non-GMO variety is easy to grow from seed and adapts well to a range of soil types, including sandy or rocky ground. It is often used in wildflower mixes, erosion control plantings, and wildlife habitat restorations. Partridge Pea also fixes nitrogen in the soil, making it a valuable addition to sustainable landscapes.

Planting & Care

Sow Partridge Pea seeds directly outdoors in spring after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting. For best germination, scarify seeds by lightly nicking the hard seed coat or soaking in warm water for 24 hours before planting. Press seeds into the soil surface and cover lightly with 1/4 inch of soil, keeping the area consistently moist until seedlings emerge.

Once established, Partridge Pea requires little care. Water during prolonged dry spells, but avoid overwatering as the plant prefers well-drained conditions. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or allow seed pods to mature for self-sowing and wildlife forage.
