About This

Cover Crop - Large premium packet of Austrian Winter Peas (Pisum sativum subsp. arvense) seeds. Winter-hardy and drought-tolerant cover crops can help cover the soil of your home garden beds during the off season. We've included enough seed in one packet to cover an 8' x 4' garden bed. Minimum of 17 g per packet (about 200 seeds).
Productive - Winter Peas germinate in 7-14 days when soil temps are 55-70°F. Plant 1.5” deep and space 6” apart in an area with full sun. This variety will grow 2-3’ tall with a spread of 6-18”. Pods will mature in 200-210 days (over winter), plant in USDA zones 6-10.
Soil Health - Austrian Winter Peas are an ideal winter cover crop, withstanding dips in temperatures to 10° F. This rapid growing legume nourishes your soil by fixing nitrogen and adding organic matter. If planted early enough in the fall, pea pods will appear which make for a delicious late-fall-garden snack. Improving soil health through cover crop planting is an easy and low cost way of maintaining your garden from year to year.
