These plants can be low growing or high stalked. They develop green pea-like pods that dry out and the contents become loose and rattle - hence their name. Their flowers are yellow. They are generally considered invasive if not used for ornamental gardening.

Habitat:

Can be pinelands with sandy soil, coastal plains, or disturbed sites. This specimen was spotted in County nature Preserve in pine woods upland in sandy soil.
