Goat's Rue

Tephrosia virginiana

Notes:

All parts of this plant are pubescent and give the plant a silky soft appearance and grayish cast to the foliage. The plant grows to a height between 1 and 2 feet and spread of about 1 foot. Leaves are alternate and compound with up to 25 leaflets. The multi-colored flowers appear in a cluster at the top of the plant with multiple flowers in bloom at once, surrounding the stem like a merry-go-round. The roots are very deep and one reason this lovely plant resists transplanting.
