About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Cicer milkvetch is a forage legume rather than a grass, despite often being considered alongside pasture seeds. Astragalus cicer has been used in managed grazing and hay systems, where its perennial growth offers a different contribution from annual field legumes. Its compound leaves and pea-like flowers reveal that family relationship.

Plan it within a suitable forage system, using reliable guidance on establishment, companion species and harvest management. A small trial plot can help assess how it develops in the local conditions before wider use. The crop's common forage role does not transfer to other Astragalus species, some of which are toxic. Keep the exact identity attached to the seed and avoid treating every milkvetch as equivalent livestock feed.
