Hairy vetch is a nitrogen fixing legume that provides excellent biomass over the winter, helps control soil erosion and acts as a ground cover. Its pea-type flowers are a lovely violet color. One Lb will cover 1,000 square feet. Hairy vetch is widely known as a top legume for Nitrogen fixation. Foliage grows slowly in fall, but root development continues over winter in Southern states. Growth speeds up in spring, when hairy vetch becomes a sprawling vine up to 12 feet long. Field height will not get above 3 feet. Thick foliage suppresses spring weeds. Hairy vetch is a hardy, viny, annual or biennial legume, attaining a height of 24 inches when planted alone and higher when planted with a tall companion crop that provides structural support for climbing. Thin, branched stems can reach more than 8 feet long. Compound leaves are made up of 8 to 24 paired, narrow leaflets. Leaves terminate with a tendril used for climbing. Despite its name, stems and leaves can be hairy or smooth. Hairy vetch has a taproot that extends 1 to 3 feet deep. Fall-planted hairy vetch flowers in April and ripens seed in May-June. Groups of 10 to 40 small, long, blue flowers hang from one side of a long flower stem. Spherical seeds (approximately 28,000/lb) are smaller than common vetch seeds. They develop in small pods and usually are grayish or black. Hairy vetch is hardseeded
