Trifolium incarnatum Grows 1-3' tall. Crimson clover produces more forage at low temperatures than other clovers. With its rapid, robust growth, crimson clover provides early sprin g nitrogen for full-season crops. Rapid fall growth, or summer growth in cool areas, also makes it a top choice for short-rotation niches as a weed suppressing green manure. Crimson clover will grow well in about any type of well drained soil, especially sandy loam. It may fare poorly on heavy clay, waterlogged, extremely acid or alkaline soils. Once established, it thrives in cool, moist conditions. Dry soil often hinders fall plantings in the South. Contains approx 200 heirloom seeds Show more
