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.

Best Stuff Non Greasy Super Shine
Scent: Argan Oil
Wow! This product blew my mind! I have fine hair, bleached blond and this product made my hair soooo shiny nothing has ever done that! The fragrance is minimal but pleasant. This improved the condition of my hair immediately and I didn't even leave it on very long. No greasy feel afterward which is important with my fine hair. I bought another for daughter's frizzy hair she was impressed.

Just a great product
Scent: Curly
Honestly I’ve tried plenty of hair mask before and none of them can do what this one does! My hair is so hydrated after 2 uses! When I wash it out my hair actually maintains the water and it’s so easy to comb through and style 10/10

Fantastic heat protection
Color: Biotin, Color: Biotin
I highly recommend this heat protecting spray because it has truly helped my hair become healthier. I blow dry and straighten my hair so much and I rarely use to protect it so it became quite damaged over time. I've been using this for roughly 3 weeks now and my hair is becoming healthier, shinier and growing so much better because it's not breaking or getting dried out. I like the smell of the spray - it's really nice. It's not sticky and doesn't leave any residue in my hair. And it doesn't leave my hair stiff like it's got hair spray in it. This spray stops my hair from going all frizzy including when I'm hot or it's humid. It also protects my hair colour too. I would recommend this.
