HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, pressing the round headed bush clover seeds into the surface of the soil since they need light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30 days before sowing. To start the seeds indoors, sow the in flats 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring; keep the soil lightly moist. These Lespedeza Capitata seeds should germinate in 10-14 days at 65 degrees F. Transplant the seedlings as soon as they can safely be handled.
Growing: Water the young plants occasionally until they become established. Mature plants do not require much attention and easily tolerate drought. These plants also flourish in shallow, rocky, or clay soil and may self-seed in favorable conditions. In addition to attracting bees and butterflies, this plant is a favorite of small animals and game birds.
Harvesting: These blossoms make excellent cut flowers. Choose stems with flowers that have just opened, and place them in water immediately. Strip the foliage that will fall below the surface of the water. These flowers also make an attractive addition to dried flower arrangements.
Seed Saving: Remove the flower heads after they have faded and turned dark brown. Harvest promptly, since these seeds are a favorite food of many birds. Spread the seed heads out to dry away from direct sunlight. When they have dried completely, crush them and separate the seed from the husks. Store the cleaned round headed bush clover seed in a cool, dry place.
