Sava Snail Medic is a self-regenerating annual pasture legume well suited to lower rainfall areas and alkaline soils. Growing most actively through the cooler months, it provides useful forage while also serving as a productive green manure and soil-building crop.
As a legume, Snail Medic forms a symbiotic relationship with beneficial soil bacteria, fixing atmospheric nitrogen through root nodules and helping build fertility for following crops. Once established, plants can set seed and regenerate naturally in subsequent seasons when conditions are favourable, making it particularly useful in longer-term pasture and rotation systems.
Sava is valued for its aphid resistance and ability to perform in conditions where many other pasture legumes may struggle. Its preference for alkaline soils makes it particularly useful in suitable low-rainfall farming regions.
Seed count: approximately 80 seeds/g
Sowing rate: approximately 3–7 kg/ha
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Generally not suited
Subtropics: Autumn
Mild climates: Autumn
Cold climates: Autumn
Planting / Sowing
Sow into moist, prepared soil in autumn, broadcasting evenly and lightly covering the seed. Keep moist during establishment where rainfall is insufficient.
For maximum nitrogen fixation, treat seed with the appropriate Medic inoculant (Group AM) where compatible rhizobia are not already established in the soil.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
