About This

• Austrian Winter Pea Seeds for Planting: Grow a cold tolerant cool season legume for cover crops, green manure, garden soil protection and seasonal forage plantings. These field pea seeds produce leafy growth, tendrils and attractive purple flowers while helping cover bare soil
• Cool Season Cover Crop Seeds: Austrian Winter Peas are commonly planted as a winter annual legume in suitable climates and can contribute biologically fixed nitrogen when properly inoculated with compatible Rhizobium bacteria. Use in gardens, crop rotations and soil building plantings
• Purple Flowers and Vigorous Vines: Plants develop climbing or sprawling stems with tendrils and attractive purple to reddish purple blossoms as they mature. Dense seasonal growth can help cover exposed garden soil and add organic plant material when incorporated
• Useful Green Manure Crop: Grow between major garden crops or as part of an appropriate cover crop mixture, then terminate plants before the next crop is established. The resulting plant material can contribute organic matter while protecting soil during the cool season
• Plant for Cool Weather Growth: Sow in well drained prepared soil during the appropriate fall or early spring planting window for your climate. Provide sun and adequate moisture for establishment, and avoid locations where standing water persists around developing roots | 50 Seeds
