Lead Plant (Amorpha canescens) 3-pack of pots

$15.00

Can’t be shipped.

Pretty silver-hued leaves complement the purple and orange flowers on Lead Plant. A super deep taproot–up to 20 feet deep!–helps this long-lived plant survive droughts. Every sunny prairie garden deserves at least one Lead Plant. It is a legume–a plant that increases nitrogen in the soil. The stems often persist and grow new shoots the next year, like a shrub.

Details

Sun:    
Full Sun, Part Shade
Moisture:    Medium, Dry

Design Tips

Lead Plant (Amorpha canescens) is a small lanky shrub that is best planted individually in sunny gardens. We like to plant just a few Lead Plant flowers interspersed in larger masses of shorter prairie flowers and grasses such as Narrow-Leaf Coneflower, Butterfly Milkweed, Prairie Dropseed, and Star Sedge.

Great native plant choice for the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes grant program!

Companion Plants

Nodding Onion
Butterfly Milkweed
Narrow-leaved Coneflower
Prairie Dropseed
