Native to the midwestern United States, this vivid purple wildflower is used as a component in many prairie plantings. Please be aware that the hairy seed pods that develop can stick to pets or clothing. This nitrogen-fixing native legume is a crucial food source for wild birds such as northern bobwhites, ruffed grouse, and wild turkeys. It also acts as a larval host for numerous butterflies including eastern tailed blue and silver spotted skipper. This plant's genus name Desmodium means "long chain," a reference to the unique segmented seed pods of this plant. The common names "Beggar's Lice" and "Stick Tights" are derived from the tendency of the seed pods to stick to everything they touch.
