Additional information:
– Red Clover has a long bloom time of 1 – 2 months and is beneficial to wildlife. The 1-inch flowers emit a honey-like fragrance, attracting bees, bumblebees, butterflies including Swallowtails and Monarchs, and are a source of nectar for honey bees. Birds such as grouse, pheasant, and turkey consume the seeds, while the foliage is favored by rabbits and groundhogs. Red Clover is commonly utilized in deer plot areas. As a legume, it aids in improving soil nitrogen levels. It can be naturalized and serves as an effective forage crop for horses, cattle, and sheep, often used in green manure applications.
