Crimson Clover - Red

Trifolium incarnatum, known as Crimson Clover, features striking crimson flower spikes on sturdy 18-inch stems, blooming from late April through early May. This resilient spring cover crop tolerates cold temperatures and efficiently fixes nitrogen, adding over 80 pounds per acre to your soil’s fertility. It naturally reseeds when allowed to mature fully, supports beneficial pollinators, generates substantial biomass, helps prevent erosion, and integrates seamlessly into cereal grain mixtures. Cultivated to USDA Organic standards on a family-owned farm in the Mid-Atlantic, this uncoated seed should be paired with an inoculant to maximize nitrogen fixation. Plant Crimson Clover in late summer, early fall, or spring at a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch, using 15 to 25 pounds per acre for optimal coverage. With its robust growth and soil-enhancing qualities, Crimson Clover is an expert choice for enriching your land and advancing sustainable farming practices.
