alfalfa seeds

Alfalfa is a perennial legume with trifoliate leaves and flowers between blue and violet. It belongs to the Fabaceae family (the pea and bean family). It is one of the most important forage crops in the world. The alfalfa plant is a natural source of nitrogen, as it hosts symbiotic soil bacteria (rhizobia) in its root nodules that “fix” (bind and deposit) nitrogen from the air into the soil. Thus, it makes nitrogen available to other plants
