Rabbit Bells (Crotalaria rotundifolia) is a charming low-growing perennial from the legume/pea family. This sprawling groundcover reaches a modest height of 3–6 inches, making it a perfect choice for filling in sunny spaces with sandy soil. Its delicate butter-yellow flowers, each adorned with two petals, add subtle beauty, while the balloon-like pods transition from greyish-green to brown or black as they mature.
Though not drought tolerant, Rabbit Bells self-seed with ease, providing natural growth for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance plant. It's important to note that all parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested, so it should be kept away from children, pets, and livestock. Ideal for sunny spots, Rabbit Bells brings distinctive charm and texture to sandy landscapes.
