Habitat: Dry woodlands, dunes, old fields, clearings, and roadsides. Common in the coastal Plain and piedmont; infrequent at low elevations in the mountains.
Wildlife Value: Flowers are a nectar source for bees and butterflies and seeds are consumed by songbirds, quail and wild turkeys. It is a host plant for the Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae), Little Yellow (Pyrisitia lisa), and Sleepy Orange (Eurema nicippe) larvae. Partridge pea often grows in dense stands, producing litter and plant stalks that furnish cover for upland game birds, small mammals, small non-game birds, and waterfowl.
