Outsidepride White Cloud Crimson Clover Cover Crop and Forage Seed- 5 LBS

White Cloud Crimson Clover (Trifolium Incarnatum) - White Cloud crimson clover is the only white flowered Trifolium incarnatum cultivar in the US. White Cloud is truly white with white seeds. With a lack of red coloration, there are lower levels of bitter anthocyanins thus making it a sweeter clover so palatability and intake are higher. Use this unique crimson clover for hay, pasture, silage, livestock, forage, wildlife food plots, cover crops, green manure crops, crop rotations, nitrogen fixator, and for a ground cover. Its high dry matter yield and the ability of annual clovers to fix nitrogen makes White Cloud a great choice for cover crop or rotation/green manure applications. Planting of crimson clover can occur throughout much of the year depending on your goals. A successful broadcast seeding is directly correlated to the amount of soil moisture or rainfall that is present after the application. A fall planting should occur 6 - 8 weeks before the first killing frost date if winterkill is a concern for your area. Emergence will occur within 7 - 10 days. Planting too early could cause the clover to go to seed and ensure that the cover will not over winter. We now offer White Cloud crimson clover seed that has been coated with an inoculant for better establishment. The weight of the clover seeds will contain approximately 50% coating material that contains the inoculant and water holding material for better establishment and viability of the seed.
