Alfalfa Seed

Alfalfa is a perennial plant found on the borders of fields, in low valleys, and widely cultivated, with a smooth, erect stem that grows 2 to 3 feet tall. It bears grayish-green pinnately trifoliate leaves, with egg-shaped leaflets; alfalfa looks much like a large clover. Its violet-purple flowers grow in racemes from June to August, producing spirally-coiled seed pods.
