Partridge pea is an annual legume native to the eastern half of the United States. It can grow to about 2 feet.
It likes to grow in dry to mesic soil along with compass plant, showy and stiff goldenrods, rosinweed, prairie blazing stars, wild bergamot, yellow coneflowers, and black eyed susans. It is especially present after a prairie burn.
Partridge Pea has alternate composite leaves typical of a legume. It flowers from springtime to fall time.
It is a relatively easy plant to grow especially in beginner's gardens because partridge pea can thrive even in nutrient poor soil.
