Improve soil health while adding vibrant seasonal color with Crimson Clover Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. Not to be confused with Red Clover, Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum) is a fast-growing annual known for its elongated, deep red blooms and valuable nitrogen-fixing ability. It establishes quickly without becoming invasive, making it an excellent choice for gardeners who want both beauty and function.
Crimson clover is widely used as a cover crop in garden beds, raised beds, and larger growing areas to reduce erosion, suppress weeds, and enrich soil naturally. Its flowers attract pollinators and beneficial insects, while the tender foliage is also valued for forage and wildlife support.
Nitrogen-Fixing Cover Crop with Ornamental Appeal:
Crimson Clover is valued for:
- Rapid establishment and strong early growth
- Nitrogen fixation that improves soil fertility
- Large, elongated red flower heads with visual impact
Why Customers Love Crimson Clover:
- Enhances soil quality naturally without synthetic inputs
- Helps prevent soil erosion in gardens and raised beds
- Attracts bees and other pollinators
- Produces bold blooms that look beautiful planted in mass
- Annual growth habit that won’t overtake the garden
How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall, depending on climate. Broadcast seeds evenly over prepared soil and lightly rake in. Keep soil moist until seedlings are established. Crimson clover thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a range of soil types. It can be cut and turned into the soil as green manure before flowering or allowed to bloom for pollinator support.
Harvest & Use:
Flowers may be harvested and dried to make a mild, refreshing herbal tea. For soil improvement, mow or cut plants before seed set and incorporate them into the soil to return nutrients and organic matter.
