When to Seed Partridge Pea

Partridge pea should be direct seeded outdoors in fall, or stratified indoors and sown in trays for transplanting after all danger of frost has passed. 

Where to Plant Partridge Pea

This plant will appreciate a spot with full sun to partial shade. Loose, well-draining soil is ideal but this plant will tolerate an extremely wide range of growing conditions, but prefer dry soil over wet. This perennial bloom will flower in the second year and come back year after year. It will readily spread and reseed, so keep this in mind when choosing a location! Plants reach one to two feet tall. 

Growing Partridge Pea

Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and six to eight inches apart. Once germinated, thin your seedlings to six to 12 inches. Once established, this plant is quite drought tolerant. 

Harvesting Partridge Pea

This flower is not typically harvested and is better enjoyed as a landscaping and pollinator plant.
