Everwilde Farms - 1 lb Illinois Bundleflower Native Wildflower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

This distinctive native plant features unusual coiled seed pods and white flowers. The fern-like foliage is sensitive to light and touch and may wilt temporarily to control temperature and moisture levels. This species is used in many native seed mixes. Illinois bundleflower (Desmanthus illinoensis) is a nitrogen-fixing legume that provides nutrition for wild animals as well as the soil, since its seeds are a favorite food of birds, deer, antelope, and rodents. This dual purpose gives it the distinction of being one of the most important native legumes. It has a wide range of adaptability, and can be found in many soils and growing conditions. One unique feature of the leaves is their sensitivity to light and touch, resulting in a temporary wilting to control temperature and prevent the loss of moisture. Children of Native American tribes once used the distinctive round seed heads of this plant as rattles.
