Description

Alfalfa Seeds (Medicago) - High-Yielding Forage Crop, Nitrogen-Fixing, Soil Improvement, Wildlife Attraction. Grow alfalfa for its multiple benefits, including soil fertility, forage production, and wildlife attraction. Inoculated Seed: Legume seeds that are inoculated have been treated with beneficial bacteria called rhizobia. These bacteria help the plants fix nitrogen from the air, promoting healthy growth and enriching the soil. Uncoated Seed: Raw legume seeds, also known as uncoated seeds, have not been treated with rhizobia bacteria. They rely on naturally occurring bacteria in the soil to establish a symbiotic relationship and fix nitrogen. Season: Perennial USDA Zones: 4 - 9 Height: 24 - 36 inches Bloom Season: Spring through fall Bloom Color: Purple or yellow Environment: Full sun to partial shade Soil Type: Well-drained Temperature: 60 - 70F Average Germ Time: 7 - 14 days Depth: 1/4 - 1/2 inch Plant Spacing: 6 - 12 inches Planting Instructions: Plant seeds 1/4 - 1/2 inch deep in well-drained soil. Space seeds 6 - 12 inches apart. Ensure the planting location receives full sun to partial shade. Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring. Harvest forage when plants reach 10-12 inches in height. Incorporate the plants into the soil as green manure to improve soil fertility. *Seed shipments will be in the mail within one day except weekends and USPS holidays - Orders placed Fri-Sun will ship Monday. * Please leave feedback to help our small business keep growing. *If you have any issues with your order please reach out right away and it will be handled to your satisfaction promptly!
