Our Hairy Vetch is a winter-active legume, that is a great cover crop for improving soils before crop planting in the spring and summer. The stems and leaves of Hairy Vetch are covered with a soft woolly fuzz, while the flowers bloom into a beautiful purple. This hardy plant is suited for wetter soils and colder winters throughout most of the U.S. and is often used for soil improvement along roadsides and bank stabilization.
Our Fixation Balansa Clover is the most cold-tolerant annual clover, withstanding temperatures as low as -14˚F. Fixation can tolerate a variety of soil types and can even grow through short periods of standing water. This annual clover can break up soil compaction and improve nutrients to help with soil drainage and water infiltration due to its deep taproot system, which can reach 18" of growth in just 45 days.
Introduced from Eurasia, White Dutch Clover naturalized to moist areas throughout the United States. While thriving in clay to silt-loam soils, this plant also does well in sandy soil if irrigation is available. This Nitrogen producing pasture legume can help to stabilize disturbed and eroding soil. Planting should take place in spring or late fall for cool climates and late in the summer for warm climates.
