Sunn Hemp

Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) is a warm-season, annual legume that grows up to six feet tall. Until recently, the use of sunn hemp has been limited by the availability of seed. However, newer varieties (i.e. AU Golden and AU Darbin) have been bred that have the capability to produce seed in temperate climates. Sunn hemp is drought tolerant and tolerates moderately low soil pH, growing in soils with a pH between 5.0 and 8.4. It also tolerates low soil fertility, however, its productivity is enhanced in fertile soils.
