{"product_id":"organic-red-clover-raw-seed-lb-pqmqj8","title":"Organic Red Clover - Raw Seed (lb)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrganic Red Clover is a reliable cool-season legume cover crop that improves soil fertility, supports pollinators, and enhances overall soil health for gardeners and small-scale farmers. Also called Mammoth Red Clover, this short-lived perennial produces lush foliage and globe-shaped pink flowers that attract bees and other beneficial insects. Its deep root system breaks up compacted soil, improves aeration, and increases water infiltration, making it an excellent choice for sustainable gardening and regenerative farming practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest planted in spring or fall, Organic Red Clover thrives in well-drained, high-calcium soils and tolerates cold weather once established. It fixes atmospheric nitrogen through its symbiotic relationship with rhizobia bacteria, adding this essential nutrient back into the soil naturally. Use it as green manure, erosion control, or forage for livestock. The dense growth habit suppresses weeds, while mowed clover can regrow for continued soil benefits. For optimal results, inoculate seeds with a clover-specific inoculant before planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis versatile cover crop adapts to a wide range of soil pH levels and performs well in full sun to partial shade. It’s ideal for resting garden beds, preparing new planting areas, or building long-term soil vitality between growing seasons. Incorporate it at bloom stage to add organic matter and nutrients for the next crop cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor other seasonal cover crops and soil-building options, explore our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.com\/collections\/all-cover-crop-seeds\" target=\"_blank\"\u003efull collection of cover crop seeds\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Red Clover –\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTrifolium pratense\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDid You Know?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRed Clover is widely adapted and can be managed as a biennial in many climates, providing multiple years of soil improvement when maintained properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e10-15 lb\/acre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInoculant:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.com\/products\/alfalfa-clover-inoculant\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAlfalfa-Clover inoculant\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5-10 Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e24-36\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAttracts beneficial insects, forage, erosion control, green manure, and nitrogen addition to the soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFacts to Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHas a large root system, is adapted to a wide range of soil pH, prefers high-calcium soils, and does not tolerate saturated conditions.
