Going to have keep an eye out for it there.<br /><br />In fact, the only place I've seen it growing 'wild' (and even then, might have been planted) was next to a parking lot at a Florida nature reserve.<br /><br />I first sowed ~ 130 seeds from Kansas Native Plants in autumn 2015. I think I had less than five plants germinate, but several of those really thrived. Some of the seeds dropped right nearby and I gathered and scattered others. I probably have ~ 100 plants this year and would be overjoyed if I have 500 or more next year. I anticipate and hope for lots of self-sowing, but will probably get some more seeds from Prairie Moon too just to boost my changes of having an even better partridge pea show next year!<br /><br />PS - Haven't seen any quail or prairie chickens yet. Keep hoping I will! :)Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07402416428574401646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-74643410172429002342017-07-27T12:29:19.436-05:002017-07-27T12:29:19.436-05:00Sweet flowers and love the leaves!
