Ornamental Peanut Grass - 20 Live Fully Rooted Plants - Arachis Glabrata

Perennial peanut has recently shown promise as an ornamental groundcover due to its high resistance to drought and its minimal fertilizer needs. This translates into savings in water, energy, dollars, and reduced impacts to the environment. Used as a forage legume for grazing, as a high-value hay crop, and has been planted as a cover crop in citrus. Several cultivars are available for use in home landscapes. Rhizome perennial peanut has several potential advantages in the managed landscape. As its name implies, perennial peanut is long-lived and doesn't require replanting once established. May suppress weed growth, reduce nutrient leaching, and add nitrogen and organic matter to the soil. On the other hand, all cover crops have the potential to compete with trees for water and nitrogen. Ornamental Peanut is an attractive, low-maintenance groundcover, that blooms bright yellow flowers from spring to first frost. This drought-tolerant, hardy perennial requires no supplemental water after it is established. It is in the peanut family, thus it makes its own nitrogen. This eliminates the need of nitrogen fertilizers. It is not only beneficial to the environment since it requires no supplemental nitrogen or phosphorus fertilization but it also is aesthetically pleasing, can be walked on, and has edible, peanut flavored flowers.
