Hykon Rose Clover - Nitrocoated Seed (lb)

Trifolium hirtum Annual cool season legume cover crop.

Rose Clover is a resilient annual legume cover crop that thrives in poor, rocky soils with as little as 10 inches of rainfall. Known for its adaptability, it is an excellent choice for rangelands, vineyards, and wildlife plantings. This early-maturing clover establishes quickly, germinating in just 5–10 days, and produces protein-rich forage alongside dusty rose blooms that attract bees and beneficial insects. At maturity, plants reach about 18 inches tall and contribute 75–100 pounds of nitrogen per acre to the soil. Cold-hardy to 10°F and well-suited for early to mid-fall planting, Rose Clover performs reliably in marginal conditions where other legumes often fail. While it is a valuable pioneer species, it will gradually yield to more vigorous clovers as soil quality improves.
