Medium Red Clover is an extremely versatile plant species, making it one of the most widely used cover crop choices for growers across the United States. It thrives in many differe nt soils and under variable growing conditions. It is often planted with other cover crop species to help improve fertility. A healthy stand of Medium Red Clover can fix up to 120 lbs of nitrogen per acre (3 lbs/1000 sq. ft). Deep taproots also allow plants to access nutrients lower in the soil profile and slowly release them as the leaves and roots decompose. Medium Red Clover attracts many beneficial insects, provides flowers for pollinators and supports microbial life in the soil. The thick roots create soil-penetrating channels, allowing better internal drainage. Once established, Medium Red Clover is a good weed suppressor. It can self-seed in the second season if left alone and can be mowed multiple times per season. The plants can handle light to medium foot traffic. When used as a cover crop, it can be planted as a winter annual, biannual or short-lived perennial. It is hardy to zone 4, however, easily survives winter in colder zones with good snow cover.
