Sizes available: HPP #1

Basics: zones 4-8, 24-48" x 12-24", full to part sun or high, light shade, blooms in late summer, flowers are cream-colored with little pink accents, likes well-drained, medium to dry soils, with medium to low fertility, drought tolerant once established.

Common names: Round-headed Bush Clover, Rabbit Foot (Pawnee nation: parus-asu), Male Buffalo Bellow Plant (Omaha and Ponca nations)

Family: Fabaceae

Origin/Distribution: New Brunswick to Ontario and Maine to central Minnesota and southeast South Dakota, and south to Florida and east Texas. This plant is native to Maine.

Habitat: dry, open woods, railroad beds and roadsides, upland prairie, and sandy sites including dunes

More: Oh boy, here is just a partial list of some of the species found in Maine that use Lespedeza capitata as a host plant: the Ornate Bella Moth, Utetheisa ornatrix, (aka Beautiful Utetheisa), which is a day-active Tiger Moth, the Eastern Tailed Blue, Cupido comyntas, the Gray Hairstreak, Styrmon melinus humuli, the Hoary Edge, Achalarus lyciades, the Northern Cloudywing, Thorybes pylades, the Orange Sulphur, Colias eurytheme, the Silver-spotted Skipper, Epargyreus clarus, the Southern Cloudywing, Thorybes bathyllus (this is classified as a species of greatest conservation need in Maine), and the Spring Azure, Celastrina ladon.

Even More: Songbirds enjoy the seeds, in particular the Northern Bobwhite, Colinus virginianus, as well as Mourning Doves, Turkeys, and Juncos. This plant is a delicious and nutritious livestock forage that is also enjoyed by rabbits, deer, and muskrat (so plant lots). It is a nitrogen-fixer, makes an interesting cut flower, and its roots have been used medicinally as have its leaves, which have also been used in tea. Its taproot is up to 6' deep (!) which helps to open up degraded and compacted soils. This also means this plant will resent being moved. It has a lax habit so plant among grasses and other strong stemmed perennials if you don't like that look. Or make beautiful willow plant supports in your spare time.

My four approve
Color: 3PC-Bacon-Brown, Pattern Name: Tough Dog Toys
My dogs, which I have 4, 2 labradors, one Jack Russell and one medium smallish mixed breed dog, all really love the bones. Three of them seem to be vigorous chewers the mixed breed girl being the toughest one on bones. These bones are holding up really well and the dogs really seem to like them. The dogs have not been able to get any big chunks off of the bones so I feel safe letting them have them even when I’m not watching. I would recommend these to Pet owners.

I have a medium sized dog and these were to big for him. A bigger dog would love them. Great for chewers.

Great quality and flavor
Color: 3PC-Bacon-Brown, Pattern Name: Tough Dog Toys
I have two dogs that can chew through everything within a day. Not these, going on four days now, there are signs of wear and tear but still intact. The dogs love the flavor.

Dog is Happy!
Color: 3PC-Peanut Butter-Green, Pattern Name: Tough Dog Toys
My dog likes the bones, especially because they are peanut butter-flavored. The bones are very strong and well-made, so they are good for heavy chewers. By the way, these bones are very large for big dogs only!
