Dalea pinnata is a flowering plant mostly growing in Florida.[1] Also found in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina,[2] it is a member of the pea family and is commonly called the summer farewell. It grows in sandhill, flatwoods and scrub habitats and blooms in late summer, attracting various pollinators.[3]
A short-lived perennial, Dalea pinnata buds are reddish and flowers pinkish-white or lavender-white. It is a larval host for Zerene cesonia.[4]
