Proper soil preparation enhances establishment success for this versatile perennial. Plant seeds shallow at 1/8 to 1/4 inch depth in well-drained soils with pH above 5.5, ensuring full sun exposure for maximum growth potential. The approximately 426,000 seeds per pound provide excellent coverage when broadcast evenly across prepared ground. Regular mowing or grazing during the growing season helps suppress competing weeds while preventing stems from becoming woody, maintaining the plant’s palatability and nutritional value for both wildlife and domestic livestock throughout its productive lifespan.
