Everwilde Farms - 400 Lead Plant Native Wildflower Seeds - Gold Vault Jumbo Bulk Seed Packet
See more belowSorry, We couldn't find this product
Description
Once established, this singular prairie shrub is extremely drought tolerant and can last for generations. It develops spikes of tiny purple flowers that attract pollinators. A member of the legume family, Lead Plant (also known as wild tea plant) has the distinction of being one of the only native prairie shrubs. Its unusual name can be traced to the old belief that its presence showed that the soil contained lead. Once established, Lead Plant lasts for generations; it can be found growing wild throughout the Great Plains regions of central North America. Lead Plant's extremely deep and extensive root system gives it good resistance to drought, prairie fire, high wind, and frost. Though ranchers appreciated it for being excellent cattle fodder, settlers found that its roots would become tangled on their plowshares; this trait earned it the nickname "Devil's Shoestring."
