Crimson Clover
Description
Crimson clover is a semi-upright winter annual legume that germinates quickly and prefers well drained soil. Crimson tends to remain actively growing in cooler temperatures when warmer season clovers go dormant. Crimson can be successfully established in both fall and spring.
To maximize success in late summer plantings, seed at least 6-8 weeks before frost. Spring plant-ings should occur after all danger of frost has past.
