It produces small pinkish-purple pea-like flowers in late summer and has long been used as a dependable summer cover in pastures, meadows, and large open plantings. Its compact, sprawling form and quick germination make it a practical choice for erosion control on bare ground, temporary grazing, and low-maintenance green cover where a short-lived annual legume is wanted.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the landscape, Korean Lespedeza works well as a summer annual ground cover, in wildlife food plots, and as a companion in pasture mixes. It tolerates poor, dry soils better than many legumes and will self-seed under favorable conditions, returning each year. Plants die back after frost. Sow by broadcasting onto a prepared, weed-free seedbed and lightly cover, as shallow planting supports better establishment. This species is grown for ornamental, forage, and soil-cover purposes, not as a perennial garden specimen.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Kummerowia stipulacea\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Warm-season annual legume\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Low-growing, sprawling, fine-stemmed\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to light shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Average to poor, well-drained; tolerates drought and low fertility\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: Grown as an annual in most zones\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 7 to 14 days at 65 to 75F\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Broadcast on prepared seedbed, press in or cover lightly; can be sown in spring through midsummer\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: Not applicable for broadcast sowings\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Fixes nitrogen, self-seeds under favorable conditions, dies back after frost\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664823091336,"sku":"ANNISA-692","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/il_fullxfull.7934562935_ge45_6d4d13d5-d9de-4147-80e7-a77e22985e16.jpg?v=1791899724","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/100-seeds-korean-lespedeza-kummerowia-stipulacea-annual-forage-ground-cover","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
