Crimson Clover

Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum) is an annual forb native to southern US states (such as Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina) and has also been successfully introduced across North America as a non-invasive cover crop that can thrive in USDA Zones 6–10 as a cool-season annual. Reaching a mature height of 1–2 feet with an upright branching growth habit, it features hairy trifoliate green leaves and produces striking, elongated bright crimson flower spikes. It thrives in well-drained loamy to sandy soils and is ideal for agricultural nitrogen fixation, soil building cover cropping, and roadside conservation plantings.
