Crimson clover is an annual reseeding clover that is commonly used for wildlife forage. This clover is very quick to establish and does much better in less fertile soils than other clovers. Crimson clover is a good protein provider normally consisting of 20% to 25% protein. It is used widely in commercial wildlife seed mixes. This crop is also known as a great soil builder.
Crimson clover also reseeds very well. Crops will seed out in the summer months. Simply disk through the plot in late summer or early fall to replant the plot.
Crimson clover should be seeded at 12 lbs. per acre and covered approx. 1/4 inch.
