Name That Plant!

Yellow Wildflower from Hummingbird mix

12 years ago

I planted some old seeds I had from a Wildflower hummingbird mix and I got two of these plants this Spring. At first I thought they were Mimosa because of the leaves but now they have bloomed these cute yellow flowers. Does anyone know what they might be?

Chamaechrista fasiculata, aka Partridge Pea, an annual native plant that is a host to Sulphur butterflies. Sometimes found in the trade as Cassia fasiculata.

Thank you seedmoney! I have an Audubon Guide to Wildflowers and also a Native Plants of the Northeast book but neither book covers it and I was so puzzled trying to figure out what it was. Is it Native to the South or the prarie states?

Plants Profile gives a fairly accurate idea of native range of plants in the US. I find it by typing in the name of whatever plant I want, followed by usda. And notice I said 'fairly,' not 'totally'.

Here is a link that might be useful: USDA map for Chamaechrista fasiculata
