Cover Crop Clover Crimson is upright, winter annual legume. Grows to 1 to 3 inches and produces striking crimson blossoms in abundance.

Where winter lows fall above -10°F, it is sown in late summer, lies dormant in winter, resumes growth in spring, and flowers in May.

Crimson clover fixes up to 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre, and prefers well-drained, loam soils with good decaying matter content for best results.

It is an excellent choice for under-seeding as it grows well in the shade of other crops. Easier to incorporate in the spring than Hairy Vetch. 

Do not use for frost seeding as it won't handle the cold nearly as well as red clover. Crimson clover will not re-grow after close grazing or mowing once flowering has begun.

Crimson clover does best in cool, humid weather and will perform poorly in the heat of summer.

Great weed suppressant and soil erosion control. Crimson clover is excellent for grazing for farm animals, deer and others, and haying. It will regrow if grazed or mowed no lower than 3 or 4 inches before the early bud stage. Mixing with grass reduces its relatively low bloat risk even further.

Germination rate is about 80% or better.
