Nuttall’s Milkvetch

Nuttall’s Milkvetch is an evergreen perennial herb that forms thick, tangled clumps of stems from
0.5′ – 3′ tall on the bluffs of coastal habitats.

This species is used to seaside conditions, so it can tolerate salt spray, sand, and clay. In harsh conditions, stems may be quite hairy and soft, but in easier growing conditions they can be virtually hairless. The flowers are cream-colored to green, occasionally with a purple tint.
