Crimson clover is a beauty, its showy flower heads as ornamental as any cultivated cut flower. But crimson clover is also a nutritional powerhouse for the soil, fixing loads of nitrogen for crops that follow and, when sown densely, crowding out small germinating weeds.

It can also be sown in early spring; it grows quite quickly and can be mowed and incorporated into the soil easily at any point.

Sow 4-8 weeks before first fall frost (Late August or early September in zone 5).
