Chamaecrista nictitans (wild sensitive pea)

 

We love native annuals, they fill in the spaces in your garden while the slower perennials fill in!

 

Chamaecrista nictitans thrives in well-drained soils. This plant is known for its use as a host plant for the caterpillars of the Little Sulphur butterfly (Eurema lisa). It's an important nectar source for butterflies and bees and plays a vital role in supporting local pollinator populations. With its attractive yellow flowers, it can be a great addition to any wildlife garden!
