Narrative
These roundhead lespedeza germplasms are adapted to their respective ecoregion and plant hardiness zone. The germplasms differ in maturity with the germplasms based on southern collections typically flowering later in the summer. There is also variation within each of the germplasms for maturity, plant height and other traits. Plant breeders can use these germplasms as base populations for cultivar development or companies producing seed of native plants can use them as a seed source of known adaptation. Roundhead lespedeza can be used in plantings for forage, conservation, pollinators, and wildlife food.

Pedigree
Description:
LECA-HZ5a was developed from seed collected from tallgrass prairies in the Missouri (4), Nebraska (3), and Iowa (4) which are in the northern half of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5. LECA-251-HZ5b was developed from seed collected from tallgrass prairies in Missouri (3) and Kansas (9) which are in the southern half of the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5. The collections for each germplasm were intermated in isolation for 2 generations.
