That two-year cycle is the whole point. In year one it drives a taproot (a single thick root growing straight down) 4–6 feet into the ground, breaking up hardpan — a compacted layer that blocks roots and water. In year two it puts on tall, vigorous growth and does heavy nitrogen fixation: it pulls nitrogen out of the air and stores it in the soil, often 100–150+ lbs per acre, banking fertility for your next crop. Its fragrant blooms also make it one of the top honey plants in North America. Our Canada-grown seed is uncoated and tested for purity and germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -14.0pt;
