Seed Ranch Arrowleaf Clover 10 Lbs.

Arrowleaf clover is a cool-season annual that is highly productive in fall and spring and a top-choice forage for whitetails, especially when does are thriving fawns and bucks are about to begin antler growth. Though it’s an annual, arrowleaf clover is a heavy re-seeder – with the right management, you can get several seasons of production out of one planting. This plant is typical of most clovers with three leaflets. Each leaflet is arrow-shaped with a large white “V” mark. Leaves and stems are generally smooth and plants can obtain heights of four feet or more. In late spring, Arrowleaf clover produces clusters of white flowers with a light tinge of pink or purple. Growth normally occurs until hot weather hits in late June or July in most areas. The plant then disperses an abundance of seeds for future germination. Planting: Soil should be deep tilled or plowed and then lightly disked or dragged to smooth the seed bed. A common mistake in planting clover is burying the seed too deep which will gravely affect the germination. Clover should not be planted more than 1/8-inch deep.

Sericea Lespedeza (UnHulled)

Common Name: Sericea Lespedeza, Chinese LespedezaScientific Name: Lespedeza cuneataIdentification: Sericea Lespedeza is a perennial upright forb reaching 3 to 6 feet in height. Leaves are alternate and composed of numerous 3-leaflet clusters. The small leaves are usually green with white beneath. The stem is gray-green. The white flowers are composed of 1 to 3 pea-like flowers and appear from July to September. Clustered legume pods are scattered around the stem, contain one seed, and mature from October to March.Ecology: Sericea Lespedeza occurs in forest openings and dry to wet sites. The invasive forb is flood tolerant and forms dense stands by sprouting from roots. The species spreads from plantings and the seeds can remain viable for decades.Plant Control: Sericea can be difficult to control. Spray plants with a 5% glyphosate and surfactant solution in late summer. Mowing 1 to 3 months before herbicide application can assist control. If glyphosate is not effective and the sericea comes back the following year, try spraying with a triclopyr-based product. To avoid having to purchase a large quantity of a triclopyr concentrate such as Garlon, you may want to buy a pint or quart container of Brush-B-Gon Poison Ivy Killer at the hardware or home supply warehouse. Monitor and re-treat as needed until eradicated.​Not available for purchase in Wisconsin
