FrostMaster Winter Pea Seed

FrostMaster Winter Peas Seed

Cold-Tolerant Forage Pea for Wildlife, Cover Crops, and Soil Improvement

FrostMaster Winter Peas are a premium small-seeded forage pea developed for exceptional cold tolerance, vigorous growth, and highly palatable forage production. This annual dual-purpose legume is widely used for wildlife food plots, livestock forage, nitrogen fixation, and soil-building cover crop applications.

Known for its aggressive vining growth habit and broad leafy canopy, FrostMaster Winter Peas produce abundant forage with excellent nutritional quality. The sweet taste and tender foliage make this variety especially attractive to deer, turkey, and other wildlife species. Unlike many traditional winter peas, FrostMaster features white flowers, indicating a low tannin content that reduces bitterness and improves forage acceptance.

Ideal for fall planting, FrostMaster Winter Peas perform well in sandy to loamy soils and help improve soil structure while naturally adding valuable nitrogen back into the ground for future crops.
