Stems may grow 2 to 5 feet long and leaves are composed of 10 to 20 leaflets. Flower are violet and white to rose colored or white. Seed are round and black, developing inside elongated and flattened pods. Hairy vetch provides a natural source of nitrogen for organically grown crops and also acts as a host plant for beneficial insects.

This annual when used in wildlife food polts is particularly good for deer and turkey but can be used for other wildlife.
