About Crimson Clover

Crimson Clover, or Trifolium incarnatum, is a vibrant and highly effective green manure plant known for its rich crimson-red flowers. This annual legume is an excellent choice for improving soil fertility and structure, making it a popular cover crop in organic farming. Crimson Clover is particularly valued for its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, which reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers. It also enhances soil structure, promotes beneficial soil organisms, and prevents erosion, making it a key component of sustainable gardening practices.

Why Choose Organic Crimson Clover Seeds?

  • Soil improvement: Crimson Clover enhances soil structure by adding organic matter, improving water retention, and increasing aeration.
  • Nitrogen fixation: It naturally fixes nitrogen in the soil, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and enriching the soil for future crops.
  • Easy to grow: Tolerates a wide range of soil types and is adaptable to various growing conditions.
  • Beautiful flowers: The striking crimson-red blooms make this plant visually appealing in addition to its soil-enhancing properties.
  • Organic: Grown without chemicals, making it safe for organic farming and gardening practices.

How to Cultivate Crimson Clover

  1. Planting Time: Sow seeds in early spring or late summer to ensure optimal growth. It grows best when planted 4–6 weeks before the first frost.
  2. Location: Crimson Clover thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It can adapt to various soil types and is drought-tolerant once established.
  3. Spacing: Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 1–2 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
  4. Watering: Keep the soil moist during germination. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant, but regular watering during dry spells will improve growth.
  5. Pruning: No pruning is necessary. Cut the plants down before they flower or once the growing season ends to maximize benefits as green manure.
