Features:
- Medicinal Herb & More - Also known as lucerne, Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is an easy-to-grow flowering perennial that has exceptionally high nutritional value and has been used for centuries in traditional herbalism. As a medicinal herb, alfalfa seeds and leaves can be dried or it can be grown as alfalfa sprouts or microgreens for its bioactive compounds that support health and fight inflammation.
- Fast-Growing Crop - In USDA Zones 2-9, direct sow outdoors in spring, late summer, or early fall by broadcasting seeds across the ground and raking in to a depth of 1/4" for clay soil to 3/4" in lighter, sandy soil. Ideal temperature is 65-80° F, and seeds germinate in 7-10 days. Flowers in 60-70 days. Each packet contains approximately 4680 to 5720 seeds. Alfalfa is difficult to grow in existing stands of alfalfa, and crop rotation is highly recommended.
- Sustainable Living – Alfalfa is versatile and highly adaptable to cool weather and difficult growing conditions. It can be used as a beneficial medicinal herb, sprouting microgreen, grazing fodder, silage, green manure, and nitrogen-building cover crop. In the United States, alfalfa is one of the most widely grown crops, especially valuable for hay, silage, and as a forage plant because it is so high in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.
