Sunn Hemp

Sunn Hemp is a fast-growing, warm-season annual legume used primarily for biomass and as a cover crop. Reaching 3 to 9 feet in 60-90 days, its bushy growth forms a dense canopy with small yellow flowers that attract pollinators. Sunn Hemp's extensive roots prevent soil erosion, and its dense foliage protects against rainfall impact.
