Prepared for Success: Scarified, GermiSync™ Treated & Pelleted
Utah Sweetvetch is a hardy western perennial with rosy-pink flowers that feed bees while helping improve low-nutrient soil.

Each seed is scarified, GermiSync™ coated, and formed into a visible pellet for easier planting and reliable establishment.

Best suited for: Full sun, well-drained to dry soil, low to moderate moisture. Drought tolerant; fixes nitrogen in the soil, improving soil health over time. USDA Hardiness Zones 3–7.
RAKE
Clear away weeds and debris, then rake the soil until it’s loose and fluffy. Good prep helps the seeds make proper contact with the soil.
SHAKE
Shake pellets directly from the seed shaker. Because each pellet contains a single seed, spacing stays even and planting is controlled.
PRESS
Walk over the area or press the pellets into the soil with your hands or feet. This helps keep them in place and improves seed-to-soil contact.
WATER
Keep the soil consistently moist for the first 14 days to kickstart germination.
