Easy to see. Easy to scatter.
Prepared for Success: Scarified, GermiSync™ Treated & Pelleted
Utah Sweetvetch is a hardy native wildflower with clusters of rosy-pink blooms that enrich the soil while providing nectar for bees and other pollinators. Its hard seed coat naturally slows germination, making establishment difficult without treatment. Each seed is scarified, treated with GermiSync™, and formed into a visible seed pellet for easier planting and more reliable establishment.
Covers 30 sq. ft.

RAKE
Clear away weeds and debris, then loosen the top inch of soil. Good prep helps the seeds make proper contact with the soil.
SHAKE
Shake pellets evenly across your area (~1 inch apart). Each pellet contains one seed, so spacing stays consistent and planting stays controlled.
PAT
Rake or pat seeds snug into the soil. This keeps them in place and ensures strong seed-to-soil contact.
WATER
Water once or twice daily. The soil should look dark, like a damp sponge for the first 2-3 weeks to to kickstart germination.
