LEGUMES
Native to Minnesota
These plants are beneficial to native plant gardens because they help enhance the nitrogen fixation in soils by soil rhizobium (beneficial bacteria). If we integrate these types of native plants with other native plants in residential "prairie gardens" or "savanna gardens" in increases the overall health and longevity of our gardens. These plants look great when planted in groups or clusters.
