Description: Annual. A beautiful nitrogen-fixing plant, excellent as winter cover, for opening heavy soils and for forage for animals. Prefers warmth but germinates in cooler soils also and grows quickly to two feet tall. Has white flowers with blue markings, aromatic foliage, and medicinal seeds that can also be used for sprouts or in curries. Makes less organic matter than other winter covers, but its quick growth is a bonus when planting late; can be planted as late as mid-December in mild-winter areas, or in very early spring. Gets about 2 feet tall. for best results, use our alfalfa & Clover inoculant.
