How to Grow

• Sow after the danger of frost has passed, or plant in late summer for fall establishment.
• Loosen the soil surface and broadcast seeds evenly.
• Rake lightly to ensure good soil contact.

Red clover performs well across many growing zones and can be mowed periodically to keep pathways tidy while continuing to enrich the soil beneath.

Harvest & Use

While primarily valued as a cover crop, the foliage and blossoms of Trifolium pratense may be used in traditional herbal projects. This plant is unrelated to clove spice and is grown for its soil-supporting benefits and pollinator-friendly flowers.
