This is a perennial plant available in both
seed and as bare root plants/shrubs for wildlife planting. About 8-12 different varieties exist
of Lespedeza. Bicolor (101) Common Lespedeza is one of the more popular varieties
of Lespedeza
planted due to the
fact that the stems remain alive (above ground) over the winter
period.
Bi-color is also the most
favored variety of Deer. Seeds are edible and attract Quail. Deer tend to graze on plant foliage more than the seeds. Excellent for more Northern areas where frost can occur before
mid-October. These varieties also tend to drop mature seeds late
in fall/winter providing winter food for Quail.
Shrub Planting suggestions:
-
Plant in rows 36" inches apart (No more than 42"as
the plants must shade the ground area when the mature in about
2-3 years).
-
Plant spacing should be around 18 - 28" apart.
-
Plant in winter to early spring before sap starts
rising (spring green up).
-
Plant depth of bare root plants to "collar" on top of root system.
(Generally this is original rooting depth and is identifiable by
it's different color on the bare root plant.)
-
Plant plants in winter or early spring.
Seeds can be planted in early spring around date of last
expected frost.
Make sure you do not plant too wide
of rows, as the
plant needs to shade ground in order to choke and keep out weeds.
Bicolor matures in 2-3 years. Best for well-drained soils, but NOT high
sandy soils. Fertilizer at 500 lbs / acre with a low N
fertilizer. Seeds require about 4 years to fully mature.
Plants mature faster because of their 12-24 month head start as
a bare root plant when starting.
