Ethiopean cabbage is a brassica with a hard erect central stem that remains upright during the winter. It provides control of several parasitic nematodes, and is excellent at trapping snow in the winter. It is less palatable than most other brassicas for livestock forage. Pure stand seeding rate 5 lb per acre, optimum planting depth is ¼-1/2 inch, and optimum planting date is August to early September.

Potentially long-lived nitrogen-fixing perennial legume with a significant taproot and purple flowers. Adapted to fertile, deep, well-drained soils. Intolerant of poor drainage, high water tables and acidic soils. The world’s most well-known and widely used perennial forage legume for pasture, hay, silage, green-chop and rangeland. Excellent forage yield, quality and palatability. Seed alone or in mixed grass pastures; establishes easily. High bloat potential; use caution when grazing. Also use for wildlife habitat for grazing ungulates, geese, grouse and other wild birds. Primarily pollinated by leafcutter bees and many types of native bees; honeybees are reluctant pollinators. Winter hardy, rhizomatous and multifoliate (MF) varieties available.

Medium statured, relatively short-lived nitrogen-fixing perennial legume with pale pink to white flowers. Not a hybrid, despite its name. Adapted to a wide range of soil types, including sites too acidic for Red clover (T. pratense); more alkaline tolerant than most clovers. Prefers wet sites, tolerating waterlogged soils and up to six weeks of flooding. Winter hardy, able to survive at northern latitudes and high elevations. Use for hay, pasture and soil improvement on Cool, wet sites. Plant with Timothy (Phleum pratense) or Meadow brome (Bromopsis biebersteinii) to improve hay production and prevent lodging. Excellent nectar and pollen source for bees, especially honeybees.
