The Winter Pea is an annual vine legume similar to spring peas, but winter hardy so they have the ability to regrow vigorously in the spring. With the ability to fix large amounts of nitrogen given the right growing conditions and time, winter peas are a good choice for producers looking to increase soil N. In northern regions with subzero temperatures, snow cover is often needed to protect against winter-kill. Some producers have had great success with overwintering in colder climates by increasing their planting depth to 3-4 inches.
Drilled seeding rate: 50 lb/Acre
