Alfalfa seed produces a cool season perennial that is grown in almost every state in the United States. It can survive temperature extremes of -25 to over 50 degree centigrade. Alfalfa is high in minerals, vitamins and protein making it one of the most nutritious crops that can be utilized in any forage situation whether for pasture use or as a wildlife food plot crop. Depending upon the cultivar, Alfalfa withstands a wide variety of climates and is highly drought resistant because it can lay dormant for up to 2 years when in a drought situation. THIS COATED SEED IS NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION!! Review: It's alfalfa. - Germinates well, grows well. Just don't overwater it. It'll wilt and die overnight if you do. Review: Perfect timing - Though I thought about this too late to really start growing in early June, did take a few weeks to get to me, but well packaged. The first weekend in July I went to a swamp that deer like to go through and planted the seed sparingly in one moist area, and two weekends later, checked my cameras to see what goes through there. Was very surprised to see many half in. high sprouts every where I tossed them, even on old wet logs the sprouts had rooted into. ## Features - High Quality Warm Season Legume - Food Plot - Climate Friendly - High in Minerals, Vitamins and Protein ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B014G5UZJ0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #307,139 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #764 in Grass Seed | | Brand | FARMERS DAUGHTERS SEEDS | | Brand Name | FARMERS DAUGHTERS SEEDS | | Color | Brown | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 124 Reviews | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Indoor/Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Manufacturer | Farmers Daughters Seeds | | Material Feature | GMO Free | | Material Features | GMO Free | | Moisture Needs | Moderate Watering | | Plant or Animal Product Type | Herbs | | UPC | 748827620116 | | Unit Count | 80.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** FARMERS DAUGHTERS SEEDS - **Color:** Brown - **Indoor/Outdoor Usage:** Outdoor - **Material Feature:** GMO Free - **Moisture Needs:** Moderate Watering - **UPC:** 748827620116 - **Unit Count:** 80.0 Ounce ## Images ![Alfalfa Seed 5lb Bag (Coated) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41SpnOAemiL.jpg) ![Alfalfa Seed 5lb Bag (Coated) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51me+TAuVPL.jpg) ![Alfalfa Seed 5lb Bag (Coated) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51zQ7zXlPCL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is coating an inoculant, good price, if so ?** A: Yes **Q: what are they coated with, and why?** A: Zinc to protect the seed.
