Red Clover (Trifolium Pratense) establishes vigorously and is commonly grown as a green manure or fodder crop, valued for its Nitrogen fixation, which increases soil fertility by fixating Nitrogen out of the atmosphere and into the soil. For this reason, Red Clover is often used as part of a crop rotation program.
The green leaves have three leaflets, with a characteristic pale crescent in the outer half of the leaf. The flowers are large sphere-shaped, clustered and rose-colored. The flowers and leaves of Red Clover are edible and can be added as garnishes to any dish. Due to its beauty, it is also used as an ornamental plant.
Red Clover adapts to a wide range of climatic conditions, soil types, fertility levels, use patterns and management. It prefers mild conditions rather than hot climates and locations where rainfall or irrigation is consistent throughout the year.
Red Clover is a most productive, summer-active forage legume for Temperate areas. It can be used for pasture, cattle grazing, hay, or silage and is an excellent soil improvement crop. Can be grown in a short-term pasture mix.
