Product Description

The largest, highest-yielding white clover you can plant — a perennial legume that feeds your soil, your livestock, and your wildlife all at once.

Ladino Clover (Trifolium repens) is the tallest, most productive type of white clover, producing far more growth than standard Dutch White Clover. It is a perennial — meaning it comes back year after year, lasting 3–5+ years with proper management. As a legume, it does nitrogen fixation: it pulls nitrogen out of the air and stores it in the soil, so you buy less fertilizer. It also spreads by stolons — runners that creep along the ground and root as they go — which lets the stand heal itself, fill in bare spots, and crowd out weeds. Our seed is uncoated and tested for purity and germination.

Key Benefits

     Maximum forage yield: more biomass than Dutch White Clover for high-tonnage pasture and hay.

     Aggressive nitrogen fixer: 100

      –150 lbs of nitrogen per acre a year feeds companion grasses and rotations.

     High-protein forage: 22–28% crude protein (the share of the plant that is protein) for dairy, beef, and deer.

     Self-repairing stand: stolon spread builds a dense mat that suppresses weeds and handles moderate traffic.

     Pollinator support: abundant white blooms feed bees and beneficial insects.

     Clean, uncoated seed: no fillers, coatings, or dyes.

Best Uses

     High-production pasture and hay systems

     Deer and wildlife food plots

     Nitrogen-fixing cover crop and green manure (a crop grown to be worked back into the soil to enrich it)

     Low-maintenance clover lawn and ground cover

     Pollinator habitat and beneficial insect support

Important Notes

Surface-sow only — do not bury deeper than ¼ inch, or the seed may not emerge. Ladino handles moderate foot traffic and works as a lawn alternative, but it is not built for heavy, high-traffic turf like a sports field.

Why Choose Old Cobblers Farm™?

Every bag of Wicked Tuff Turf seed is selected for high purity and strong germination, and tested so you know what you are planting — consistent, clean, uncoated seed for growers who want reliable results.

Application Instructions

Conditions
USDA Zones 3–9; full sun to partial shade; fertile, well-drained soil; pH 6.0–7.0.

Seeding rate
2–4 lb per acre for a pure stand; 1–2 lb per acre blended with grasses (about 25–30% clover to 70–75% grass by weight); 3–4 lb per acre for deer food plots.
How to plant: Surface-sow — broadcast onto a prepared seedbed and do not bury deeper than ¼ inch. Roll lightly, or time planting just before a gentle rain, for good seed-to-soil contact (pressing seed against soil so it can take up moisture). Plant in early spring or early fall. Keep the soil consistently moist through the 7–14 day germination window.

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.
