10 Illinois Bundleflower, Prairie Mimosa Seeds - Desmanthus illinoensis - Psychoactive Perennial

Desmanthus illinoensis Seeds

Illinois Bundleflower, Prairie Mimosa, Spider Bean

The Illinois Bundleflower’s fern-like foliage is the main attraction. This perennial wildflower’s small, white blooms are short-lived and are not particularly showy. After flowering, curved, dark brown seed pods develop in clusters, and due to the plant's high protein content, this pea/bean family plant is noted as an important range plant. Ring-necked Pheasants, Bobwhites, and Great Prairie Chickens feast on the seeds of this valuable prairie species. It grows 60cm to 150cm in height, should be spaced 45cm to 60cm apart in full sun for best results.
