One of the showiest native wildflowers you've probably never heard of, with tall spikes of bright rose-pink pea-flowers in midsummer attracting an extraordinary diversity of bees and butterflies. The clover-like foliage is attractive all season. The sticky seedpods that hitch rides on clothing are nature's clever way of distributing this wonderful plant.
