Lespedeza plants make for excellent livestock forage, as it is both palatable and high in protein. It is native to eastern North America and grows as a natural prairie plant.
Start these Lespedeza seeds for a naturalized landscape setting. Also known as Round-Headed Bush Clover, this beneficial flowering plant grows best in full sun and dry conditions. Lespedeza is adaptable to different kinds of soil that contain significant amounts of loam, clay, sand, or rocky material. Like many legumes, it adds nitrogen to the soil, and is easy to grow from flower seeds.
Round-headed Bush Clover has good drought resistance; however, some of the lower leaves may turn yellow and fall off the plant if adequate water is not maintained. many herbivores eat the plant during different growth stages, including deer, rabbits, groundhogs, and livestock. This can be a problem with establishment if these animals are not controlled. The flower seeds are eaten primarily by upland game birds including: the Mourning Dove, Bobwhite, and Wild Turkey. During the winter, the Lespedeza seed is eaten by song birds.
Lespedeza seeds do best with a dormant fall planting: this will help to naturally prepare the seeds for germination in the spring. Sow seeds directly outdoors in late fall.
As temperatures warm after winter and the spring rains arrive, the seeds will begin germinating. Once conditions are correct, the seeds take 14-21 days to germinate.
If planted in the spring, it is best to perform a cold treatment on the seeds for 3-4 weeks before sowing. Plants should be spaced 12-24 inches apart.
Lespedeza was used by Native American groups for a variety of medicinal uses, and was used in Chineses traditional medicine to treat rheumatism.
