Broadleaves
Phacelia (Super Bee)
Phacelia enhances just about any type of cover crop mix you could think of. From pollinator mixes, to soil building, to grazing, phacelia shines in many situations. This mighty broadleaf enhances soil nitrogen uptake, boosts soil organic matter, and can be used in low fertility environments. While forage yield is modest, it is palatable to livestock even at maturity. As a cool season plant, phacelia is best planted in early spring or late summer, similar to alfalfa. This plant is also known to scavenge potassium.
