Lespedeza Kobe 50# bag SO Special Order by Request

Also called common Lespedeza.  More tolerant of acid soils.  Grows well in soil textures ranging from sand to clay and even where fertility levels are low.  Seeding should be done in the early spring at a rate of 25 to 40 lb/acre in a well-prepared seedbed.  Seeding may be accomplished by drilling or broadcasting.  If drilling, the seed should be placed at a depth of ½ inch.  When broadcasting the seed, incorporate it lightly by raking and then packing the soil surface.  As with all legumes, the correct species rhizobial bacteria innoculant should be used.  Annual Lespedeza may be seeded alone or preferably mixed with grain, grass, or other legumes.  Soil fertility should be adjusted according to soil test recommendations for maximum yield.
