Product Description
A premium nitrogen-fixing clover that feeds your soil and your livestock at the same time — ideal for pasture, hay, cover cropping, and wildlife food plots.
Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) is a short-lived perennial — meaning it comes back for 2–3 years and then needs reseeding. It establishes fast and produces dense, protein-rich growth for grazing and hay. What sets it apart is nitrogen fixation: the plant pulls nitrogen out of the air and stores it in the soil, so you buy less fertilizer. At the same time, its deep taproot (a single thick root that grows straight down) breaks up compacted, hard ground and improves drainage. Our seed is uncoated and tested for purity and germination, so you plant clean seed with no fillers or dyes.
Key Benefits
• Natural fertilizer factory: fixes 75–150 lbs of nitrogen per acre a year, feeding companion grasses and future crops.
• High-protein forage: 15–20% crude protein (the share of the plant that is protein) for cattle, sheep, goats, and horses.
• Breaks up compaction: the deep taproot aerates packed soil and improves drainage.
• Pollinator support: abundant blooms attract bees and beneficial insects through the season.
• Fast establishment: germinates in 5–10 days for quick cover and erosion control.
• Clean, uncoated seed: no fillers, coatings, or dyes.
Best Uses
• Pasture improvement and renovation
• Hay and silage production
• Cover crop and green manure (a crop grown to be worked back into the soil to enrich it)
• Wildlife food plots and pollinator habitat
• Crop rotation and soil-health programs
Important Notes
Red Clover does not tolerate foot traffic. It is an agricultural and pasture seed — not a residential lawn or walkway grass. Use it for grazing, hay, cover, and food plots, not for a yard you walk on.

Application Instructions
Application Instructions
Seeding rate: 10–15 lb per acre for a pure stand; 4–8 lb per acre when blended with grasses (about 30–40% clover to 60–70% grass by weight).
How to plant: Broadcast or drill ¼–½ inch deep. Roll or cultipack after seeding for good seed-to-soil contact (pressing seed against soil so it can take up moisture). Plant in early spring or late summer/early fall. Seed germinates in 5–10 days; keep the soil evenly moist through establishment.
Inoculation: For best nitrogen fixation, inoculate before planting with Rhizobium trifolii — inoculation means coating the seed with the right helper bacteria so the clover can pull nitrogen from the air properly.
