Alsike Clover Seeds Inoculant (Trifolium hybridum) Cool-season legume ideal for wet soils. Improves pasture diversity while fixing nitrogen naturally.

Minimum: 500+ Seeds Cold-Hardy Clover for Moist Soils and Diverse Pastures Alsike Clover is a resilient, cool-season legume prized for its ability to thrive in wet, low-lying soils where other clovers struggle. With its delicate pink-white blooms and upright growth, Alsike is ideal for diversifying pastures, improving forage quality, and enriching soil fertility through natural nitrogen fixation. Unlike red or white clover, Alsike tolerates more acidic and poorly drained soils, making it a go-to choice for marginal lands, hay mixes, and low-input systems. It’s also a beautiful addition to pollinator meadows and orchard floors. 🐄 Why Grow Alsike Clover? 🌱 Nitrogen Fixer Naturally enhances soil fertility and reduces the need for synthetic fertilizer 💧 Moisture Tolerant Performs well in wet meadows, lowlands, and flood-prone pastures 🌸 Beautiful Blooms Light pink flowers attract bees and beneficial pollinators 🐑 High-Quality Forage Palatable and protein-rich for livestock including cattle, sheep, and horses 🧊 Cold-Weather Tough Hardy to USDA Zone 3 with strong overwintering ability 🌿 Adds Diversity Blends well with grasses and other legumes for balanced pastures 🧪 About Inoculated Clover Seeds This seed is pre-inoculated with Rhizobium bacteria to maximize nitrogen fixation and plant vigor—especially helpful in soils where clover hasn’t been grown recently. No extra steps needed—just sow and grow. 🌎 Best For: Pastures with seasonal moisture or poor drainage Hay and forage blends Low-input or organic grazing systems Native restoration projects and pollinator plots Northern climates and high-altitude zones Acidic or poorly drained soils 🌱 Planting & Growing Info: Botanical Name: Trifolium hybridum Type: Cool-season short-lived perennial or biennial Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade Seeding Rate: 4–8 lbs/acre (solo); 2–4 lbs/acre (in mixes) Planting Depth: ⅛–¼ inch Soil: Tolerates clay, acidic, and wet soils Height: 12–30 inches Bloom Time: Late spring through summer Zones: USDA 3–9 Companions: Timothy, orchardgrass, fescue, red clover, chicory 🧠 Pro Tips: Frost seed or spring sow for best establishment Avoid planting in dry upland soils—Alsike prefers consistent moisture Compatible with horses, but feed in moderation to reduce risk of photosensitization Works well in silvopasture and orchard systems due to shade tolerance 🌾 Moisture-Loving Clover with Soil-Boosting Power For lowland pastures, wet fields, or tough northern climates, Alsike Clover delivers dependable forage, beautiful blooms, and natural soil improvement.
