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.

Although never abundant, Richardson's Alumroot has been found in almost every county in North Dakota. The species range well into the low Arctic, but do not occur much farther South than Missouri.The thick cluster of basal leaves on this plant looks like those of the Geranium. One to four leafless hairy stems grow up to two feet tall from heavy perennial taproots. The yellowish to purple flowers occur in clusters of ten to twenty along the upper part of the stem.Look for Richardson's Alumroot around hilltops and sideslopes in native prairie. Cattle seem to avoid this plant, probably because of its astringent qualities. Nevertheless, somewhat greater numbers of plants are usually found on moderately or lightly grazed pastures, possibly because of the better soil moisture conditions there.Extracts from the roots of all the Heucheras have been used medicinally for their astringent qualities. The Saxifrage family (Saxifragaceae), of which the alumroots are members, also includes our wild currants and gooseberries. The name was compounded from the Latin saxum, "a stone," and frangere, "to break," by early medical practitioners who labored under the ancient "doctrine of signatures." The doctrine stated that plants bore structures that resembled the maladies the plants were supposed to cure. Hence, some European species bearing granular bulblets were purported to dissolve urinary concretions.The Swedish naturalist Carl von Linne (Linnaeus) named the genus in honor of the German botanist Johann von Huecher (1677-1747). English botanist Robert Brown dedicated this North American species to science in 1823 in memory of its discoverer, Sir John Richardson.
