Trifolium hybridum Cool season legume cover crop.

Alsike Clover (Trifolium hybridum) is a cool-season perennial legume originating from Sweden, valued for its versatility in pasture, hay production, green manure, and as a nectar source for pollinators. Though typically short-lived (3–5 years) and often managed as a biennial, it offers excellent cold tolerance, surviving temperatures below 0°F. Alsike thrives in moist, poorly drained soils where other legumes may struggle and is best suited to northern climates with abundant moisture. Reaching 18 inches tall, it establishes easily from seed and does not require additional inoculant due to nitrocoating. Not recommended for the southern U.S. due to heat sensitivity.
