Astragalus sinicus

Origin: China

Improvement status: Landrace

Seeds per packet: ~100

Germination tested 11/2025: 44%

Life cycle: Perennial

Known as huang qi in China, Astragalus sinicus is a biennial legume with pretty bright pink flowers. Native to China, it's a cousin of the more-famous astragalus of traditional Chinese medicine, though this species is also pharmacologically active (used for excessive mucus discharges and as an unguent for burns). It's most often grown as a nitrogen-fixing green-manure crop, but it also has edible leaves and seeds — though some members of the genus contain harmful alkaloids, so exercise caution when eating it for the first time. The seed contains 5.3% fat and 36.6% protein. This is a great cover crop for soil improvement and erosion prevention, widely grown for such purposes as a winter cover crop on rice-growing land. Its beautiful flowers, like oversized hot-pink clover flowers, are an added attraction.

This seed was imported from China by the good folks at Sheffield's Seed Company in Locke, NY.

GROWING TIPS: Very easy to grow. Seeds don't require any stratification, but soaking seeds in hot tap water (then letting stand for 24 hours) will help seeds get started. Repeat process for any seeds that don't imbibe. Boiling water can be used if not water dosesn't do the trick.

Cost effective option to find what kind of toys you new small pup will enjoy.
Color: 12 PACK PUPPY TOYS
This was a great puppy toy assortment. It is great because it has different types so you can figure out what types of toys your new pup will enjoy. This package is only suitable for small dogs. Also, I do t think they would be good for aggressive cheers. But if you are looking for a cost effective bunch of small new puppy toys this is perfect. There was no smell, the sound of squeaker were average high pitch, soft and moderately durable, design and appearance were generic. Not high quality but a good assortment. Not suitable for long term use IMO.

Love this and very durable!!
Color: Blue Spider
This spider is HUGE! It's sooooooooo nice! My 3 boys love it! They love chewing on all the legs and it's so big that they can all lay around it and each chew on a leg at the same time! They also play tug of war with it at times! It's stuffed with a cushiony material. It does not bounce. It's lightweight. Has no smell. It's so much fun for my boys! Love it! It has great durability as my one boy who literally destroys all his toys has not broken it and they've had it for 3 months so far! This alone speaks volumes! Highly recommend!
