Product details:
Sainfoin is a stunning flowering forage legume known for its vibrant flower spikes that can feature up to 50 blooms per head, attracting bees and butterflies. This plant blooms twice annually, in the spring and again in the fall, enhancing its visual appeal and ecological benefits. As a legume, Sainfoin improves soil fertility by fixing nitrogen, making it an excellent choice for cover cropping and as green manure. Predominantly grown for livestock feed in the form of grazing, hay, or silage, Sainfoin is high in both tannins and protein and is a favored feed among cattle and sheep. Additionally, it exhibits greater durability in drought and frost conditions compared to traditional choices like alfalfa or clover, ensuring resilience in various environmental conditions.
