A stunning plant that is visually distinctive in the garden. Later the pea like seed pods are very attractive. It is in the legume family so it will fix nitrogen in the soil.
Type: Perennial, native to Ontario
Height: 4-5'
Light: full sun
Soil: rich loam to sandy loam
Water: likes a moister soil but apparently can withstand drier conditions.
Bloom time: late summer, August
Planting: Cold, moist stratification required - see options in photos, courtesy of Northern Wildflowers. Seeds need to be scarified (rubbed between sandpaper to break the coat a bit_ then they need a period of cold, moist stratification.
Wild life support: Offers pollen later in the season for bees looking to supply their larvae with food. Loved by many different types of bees but mainly visited by bumble bees in my garden.

A lovely pink to brighten the border
Type: perennial flower
Height: 2-3 ft.
Light: full sun
Moisture: drought tolerant after established.
Planting: Sow seeds into cell packs and press into the soil. They need light to germinate so only lightly dust with soil on top or vermiculite.
Harden off* before planting outdoors.
* Hardening off refers to the process of gently and gradually acclimatizing indoor grown seedlings to the great outdoors! Don't throw your new babies straight into the elements! Over the course of a week, take them outside for a few hours at a time, bringing them back indoors afterwards. First sit them in the shade and then slowly introduce them to the sun. Increase the length of time they are outside and are exposed to the sun, until you feel they are ready to face the big outside world!
Bloom time: Summer to fall
