Astragalus curvicarpus
Astragalus curvicarpus
Curved-pod milkvetch is a low-growing native perennial legume found in open, rocky or sandy soils of the Great Basin and Pacific Northwest. It thrives in well-drained to dry conditions and requires little supplemental watering once established. Its pea-family flowers attract native bees, and its nitrogen-fixing roots make it a beneficial addition to native wildflower meadows and restoration plantings.
