Its deep taproots reach water and nutrients far below, and it frees potassium, phosphorus and other nutrients from insoluble minerals more readily than many clovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTreat it as an annual from a spring or summer sowing, or leave it to grow over 6' tall the next year. It establishes slowly in its first season and may winterkill without snow cover, but second-year growth is huge. Its nitrogen fixation rivals alfalfa’s, and it does not need acid soil: typically around 100 lb. per acre and up to about 170 lb., and it conditions thin, poor soils. The blooms are largely yellow, with a few white. Sow 1½–2 bushels of oats with it to nurse the young stand. The seed may carry an NOP-compliant coating to help moisture uptake and germination; inoculate with an alfalfa\/true clover inoculant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlooms about 60–70 days from sowing. Grows to about 6'.
