Crimson Clover - Organic Cover Crop Seeds

Plant seeds directly in the soil in early spring or late summer to fall, depending on climate and intended use. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 45–75°F. Crimson clover grows best in well-drained soil and is commonly used for cover cropping, forage, food plots, and pollinator plantings. It is a cool-season annual with upright growth and a shallow taproot. Spring sowings may bloom the same year but often produce less growth than fall sowings. In many areas, fall-planted crimson clover overwinters and resumes growth in spring. If allowed to flower and set seed, it may reseed.
