2-4' x 3' wide, (seed propagated). This stunning legume with its lacy foliage blends beautifully into the prairie grasses of its Great Plains habitat. It becomes very conspicuous in mid-summer, when the bush blooms with numerous thin spikes of orange-eyed violet-blue flowers. Like Purple Prairie Clover, Leadplant is a deep-rooted perennial that nitrifies the soil. It grows in a wide range of soil conditions, but avoid wet clays and very dry, sandy soils. Moderately xeric, a deep soaking every couple of weeks is recommended for established plants. An annual late-fall pruning back to a foot tall will increase the flowers. Not adapted to low-desert heat. Zones 4-8. 5" deep premium pot size.
