Stans Notes: This deep-rooted perennial is usually found along roads or fields where it has escaped cultivation. Alfalfa is often planted by farmers as a food crop for farm animals and to improve soil fertility (it fixes nitrogen from the air into the soil through its roots). A winter-hardy variety of alfalfa, developed by Wendeline Grimm in Carver County, Minnesota, in the late 1800s, was partially responsible for the establishment of the dairy industry in the upper Midwest in the early 1900s. Alfalfas thin stems often cause the plant to fall under its own weight at maturity, leaving it prostrate. Its flower color ranges from light blue to dark purple, and it is a prime host plant for the alfalfa butterfly, Orange Sulphur.
