Desmanthus (Bundle Flower) & Desmodium (Tick Trefoil)

Prairie Bundle Flower or Prairie Mimosa is a shrub-like herbaceous perennial with finely feathered leaves topped by several mimosa-like white flowers. It is native of humus rich soils in prairies and open spots in woods in North America. All are easily grown in any rich, well-drained soil in a sunny to partially shaded spot.
Sow seeds flat in any rich, well drained soil. Keep pots in a sunny, protected spot outside. Most species require a cooling period of several months prior to germination. If these species are sowed late in the year, they do not germinate before spring in the following year. Transplant to the final spot in the garden from mid summer to early autumn.
All are USDA Climate Zone 6.
