Product Information
Austrian Winter Peas are a low-growing, viny legume, which have been shown to fix over 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre, per year, under good conditions in Idaho. It has hollow, slender and succulent stems, 2 to 4 feet long. The foliage is pale green, and the flowers are colored, usually purple, pink or reddish. The leaf consists of one to three pairs of leaflets and terminal branched tendrils. Pods are 1.5 to 2.5 inches long with three to five round, dark-colored seeds. Seed color is commonly gray with purple or brown mottles. Seed size is fairly large with test weights of 55 to 60 pounds per bushel.
As the name implies, Austrian Winter Peas have good winter-hardiness and can be successfully grown fall-seeded in the intermountain region valleys. However, during severe winters, when the small pea plants are exposed to long periods of sub-zero weather without snow cover, they may be winter-killed. Austrian Winter Peas can also be grown spring-seeded as a summer annual.
**Austrian Winter Peas are non-GMO**
Plant in the Fall or Spring at a rate of 50 - 70 lbs per acre. This seed needs to be at a rate of 1/4 and prefers a pH of 6.0 - 7.0.

Hancock Seed has performed without flaw when processing the orders that I have made, But, I cannot evaluate a purchase of seed - after a few days - that will take a growing season to evaluate. The fact that you ask indicates that you ARE NOT Hancock Seed - and that you ARE incompetent.
