When to plant Partridge Pea
Partridge pea is a self-seeding warm-season annual legume that blooms in summer, with seed dispersing from July to November (NC State). It is grown from seed; the page gives no explicit sowing date, so a spring band is approximate.
The calendar shows this cited seasonal window as an approximate band. It does not convert the season into frost-adjusted dates.
