Crimson Clover 500 Seeds Trifolium incarnatum

Trifolium incarnatum, commonly known as crimson clover, is an annual legume valued both for its beautiful ornamental appeal and its agricultural usefulness. Native to southern Europe, it is widely grown in temperate regions as a cover crop, forage plant, and soil improver. The plant typically reaches 1–2 feet in height, with upright stems bearing soft, trifoliate leaves and dense, cone-shaped flower heads. These blossoms, a vivid crimson-red, appear in late spring to early summer and are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Crimson clover is prized in sustainable farming and gardening because it fixes nitrogen in the soil through symbiosis with root bacteria, improving fertility for subsequent crops. It also provides erosion control, organic matter when incorporated as green manure, and nutritious forage for livestock. Beyond its practical uses, its brilliant flowers make it an eye-catching addition to wildflower meadows and pollinator gardens.   Growing Inst
