This perennial wildflower may take a few years to become established from seed, but its well worth the wait! Large clusters of blue pea-like flowers make quite a show in the Spring! Attractive charcoal seedpods then form, which were once used as rattles for children. This is a rigid, bushy wildflower that can live for decades, and is very drought tolerant!
