Oxytropis Seeds

The Oxytropis genus, commonly known as Locoweed or Crazyweed, is a resilient and fascinating member of the Fabaceae family. These herbaceous perennials are celebrated for their tufted, silvery foliage and spikes of pea-like flowers in shades of blue, purple, pink, white, or yellow, which bloom from late spring to summer. Oxytropis adds a touch of wild beauty to alpine gardens, meadows, and rocky landscapes.

Native to temperate and arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere, Oxytropis thrives in well-drained, sandy or rocky soils and sunny locations. These drought-tolerant plants are perfect for low-maintenance and naturalised gardens. Popular species such as Oxytropis campestris and Oxytropis sericea are particularly admired for their hardiness and ability to thrive in challenging environments.

The Oxytropis genus combines beauty, resilience, and ecological value, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking tough, ornamental plants that support pollinators and enhance rugged or alpine settings.
