Sweet Clover (Hubam White) - OMRI Inoculated
Hubam White Sweet Clover is a true annual clover with incredible biomass production. While its taproot is shorter and more slender than that of its biennial cousins, it still loosens subsoil compaction. Annual sweetclovers work best in the Deep South, from Texas to Georgia as they thrive in the heat and are not frost tolerant. There, they establish more quickly than the biennial types and produce more biomass in the seeding year in southern regions. Sweet clover is an excellent option for attracting pollinators.

Sunn Hemp (Crescent Sunn)
Sunn hemp is an erect, tall growing warm-season legume with an anchoring tap root. Sunn hemp is a tropical plant so it thrives in the heat. It's deep taproot helps it access water and nutrients deep in the soil profile and works with bacteria to fix nitrogen. The leaves are high in protein for grazing and especially popular with small ruminants like sheep, goats, and deer, but cattle will also eat the leaves. It's long growing season also makes it a great addition to grazing mixes. Due to toxicity concerns we do NOT recommend grazing sunn hemp as a monoculture. The stalk is very lignified making this a poor species to use in a hay mix.
