Trifolium resupinatum Annual cool-season legume cover crop. Persian Clover is an annual clover valued for its dense growth, excellent weed suppression, and its ability to contribute nitrogen-rich growth when effectively nodulated. Its fragrant purplish-pink flowers bloom continuously longer than any other clover, providing extended forage for pollinators while enriching the soil. Establishing quickly in just 5–10 days, it grows up to 2 feet tall and tolerates mowing, reseeding readily for long-term benefits. Adaptable to a wide range of soils, it thrives with as little as 8–10 inches of annual rainfall and can withstand temperatures down to 15°F. Best sown in fall, Persian Clover is effective for erosion control, forage, and soil fertility improvement. Nitrocoated seed requires no inoculant and performs best with consistent moisture. Application Rate: 6-10 lb/acre, 1/4-1 lb/1000 sq ft. Inoculant: No additional inoculant is needed. The legume seed is already coated with the appropriate Rhizobium bacteria to support nodulation and nitrogen fixation. Germination: 5–10 Days Plant Height: 2' Uses: Forage crop, nitrogen fixing, erosion control, weed suppression, and pollinator support Facts to Note: Tolerates a wide range of soils, withstands mowing, reseeds readily, and continues to grow with adequate moisture. Hardy to 15°F and requires only 8–10" of rainfall annually. Made to order. Minimum order quantity is 50 pounds. Note for certified organic growers: Nitrocoated seed is conventionally grown, non-GMO seed with no fungicide or insecticide seed treatment applied before coating. The coating contains certified organic powdered limestone, an organically approved binder, and an OMRI-approved peat-based inoculant, applied through an OMRI-approved process on a dedicated Nitrocoated-seed treatment line.
