Desmanthus illinoensis

Ref : N0141 - Desmanthus illinoensis
Bag of 150 seeds

This perennial species can reach 2 m in height, with an abundance of mimosa-like leaves and a cluster of small white flowers.

Thanks to its high protein content, it is suitable for feeding livestock and wild animals, and is used for soil regeneration.

Desmanthus illinoensis was traditionally used by the native peoples of North America to treat eye and skin diseases.

in the ground

Sow in pots, under cover, at a temperature of 18°C minimum. Keep soil moist until emergence. Transplant when frost is no longer a concern. For direct sowing in the garden, sow after the last frosts, at a depth of less than 1 cm. Keep the soil moist until emergence. This takes place 10 to 15 days after sowing.

Soak seeds in lukewarm water 12 to 24 hours before sowing. This species appreciates occasional watering during droughts.
