** I’m a NA native, but technically not native to NY. I should be used in your garden and not in wild areas.
I grow quickly in the spring
I have beautiful charcoal gray stems and blue-green leaves
I’m a legume, so I add to the health of your garden soil.
I’m a very long lived perennial, but can take up to four years to bloom.
Bumblebees enjoy my flowers and several species of skippers, butterflies and moth caterpillars feed on my leaves.
