Lucerne (Medicago sativa)

 
Pollen & Nectar Source
This product contains flowering species which are beneficial for pollinating insects like bees and butterflies.
 
Drought Tolerant
Contains deep rooted plants. Grows better in dry weather than shallow rooted species. Massively improves soil structure.

Contains enough N fixing legumes to be self sufficient requiring no fertiliser input.
 
Nitrogen Fixing
This item contains leguminous species, which naturally fix Nitrogen from the air into the soil.
 
Slow Growing
Slower to establish but require much less maintenance and management.
Ref: LUCE. Lucerne is a very popular plant in the US, used in the UK for silage and hay. Lucerne is also known as Alfalfa when sown as hay to the equine market. It is a high protein nitrogen fixing legume which thrives on free draining, non-acidic soil and requires no fertiliser. More details...
