Bundleflower Illinois
Desmanthus illinoensis

Perennial (Permanent Plant). This plant is tall, fern-like, branched, and shrub like in growth. This plant grows between 36-60 inches. Produces small, ½-inch, cream-colored and spherical flowers that bloom in summer. Stems are light green and angular. Leaves are yellowish green or medium green, and narrowly ovate in shape. Used in meadows, roadsides, and tall grass prairie plantings. Good for xeriscaping. Produces fruit in the form of dark-brown clusters of pods. Due to it being high in protein, it is readily eaten by livestock and wildlife. Fixes high amounts of nitrogen in the soil and can rejuvenate worn-out soil. Disease is rarely a problem. Attracts bees, butterflies and birds.
