PASTURE USE: Arachis Pintoi is well consumed by cattle, sheep, and horses and it's dry matter production ranges from 7-10.5 lb per acre per year, with periodic cuts at intervals of 8-12 weeks. Protein content ranges between 17% and 20%, and dry matter digestibility between 67% and 71%. The legume is capable of fixing up to 268 lb/acre of nitrogen per year. Moderate to heavy grazing pressures are necessary for best performance. Arachis Pintoi can be utilized in pure stands under grazing or as cut-and-carry forage or it can be associated with erect or stoloniferous grasses. The intervals of rest and grazing will depend on the associated grass. LAWN USE: Perennial Peanut (Arachis Pintoi) can be used as an attractive, low-maintenance ground cover that blooms bright yellow flowers from spring to first-frost. This drought-tolerant, hardy perennial requires little or no supplemental water after it is established. Perennial peanut is an excellent choice as an alternative ground cover for lawns and golf courses during times of drought. It is the same genus as the peanuts that we eat, however Perennial Peanut produces only a very small pod and a tiny seed. Grows best in well-drained sandy to clay soils, with low to neutral pH and low to high fertility. Fails to persist on seasonally waterlogged, poorly structured clays. It tolerates high levels of Al and MN, but has low tolerance of salinity. Please be advised that squirrels love to eat this seed!!

Excellent groundcover crop.
This have a very good germination rate in my hands, and this is an excellent groundcover and nitrogen fixing plant for Florida. I drop a few seeds around almost everything I transplant here to help it spread more quickly in my yard and to insure the transplants have a local nitrogen fixer improving the soil nearby. Once it's well established, it can also be spread by cutting one foot lengths, folding them back on themselves, then directly planting the cuttings in the ground with only about 25% sticking out of the ground. Survives being tread upon and requires FAR less water once well established than grass. Fixes nitrogen, so it doesn't need fertilizer either, thus doesn't contribute to red tide like a grass lawn does.

No germination regardless of technique
I haven't been able to get one seed to germinate and I've attempted direct sow, container seed starts, different Inoculants, soaking seeds, greenhouses seeds, watering more, watering less, ive probably tried at least 150 seeds and not one germinated. Only reason they are getting 2 stars instead of 2 is because they refunded my money and were incredibly courteous as a company. I wish I could leave a different review for that reason however the product did not work for me no matter what I tried.

No germination/bad seeds
I am an experienced grower and not one seed germinated. I probably planted 2,000 other pots that same week alone in my green houses and this is the only product that didn’t germinate. Not a single seed from this sprouted. I’ve bought other seeds directly from this company by picking up in person (I live near them) and always had good germination. This particular product was bad.

Only 4 seeds grew from the whole bag.
