A versatile annual that is perfect for a naturalized setting or meadow! Partridge Pea has large, showy, yellow flowers. Each flower is marked with red and is followed by a narrow pod.
The flowers are a good source of nectar for bees and butterflies, and the pods produce flower seed which is a major food source for game birds and songbirds.
Partridge Pea seeds can be planted from late winter (March) to late spring (May). A cold treatment by refrigerating the Cassia seed for 30 days is helpful in aiding germination. After the cold treatment, broadcast the seeds in weed-free prepared soil. Rake the seed in and cover 1/4 inch. Keep the seeds moist.

I ordered Red Fountain you sent Red Bamboo #381. The other order was Red Dragon, you sent Orange Bamboo #391. Toadstoolseeds.com sent them. I sent you an email about this earlier. Can you send the correct seeds?
I bought some red sunflower seeds from this website. I also bought seeds from the big box store. The seeds I bought from this website sprouted first and look very robust. I am ordering more. Look for the next review once they bloom!!!
