Persian Clover - Nitrocoated Seed (lb)

Great for Weed Competition and Erosion Control

Trifolium resupinatum Annual cool-season legume cover crop.

Persian Clover is an annual clover valued for its dense growth, excellent weed suppression, and nitrogen fixation of up to 200 lb/acre. Its fragrant purplish-pink flowers bloom continuously longer than any other clover, providing extended forage for pollinators while enriching the soil. Establishing quickly in just 5–10 days, it grows up to 2 feet tall and tolerates mowing, reseeding readily for long-term benefits. Adaptable to a wide range of soils, it thrives with as little as 8–10 inches of annual rainfall and can withstand temperatures down to 15°F. Best sown in fall, Persian Clover is effective for erosion control, forage, and soil fertility improvement. Nitrocoated seed requires no inoculant and performs best with consistent moisture.

  • Application Rate: 6–10 lb/acre, or 0.25–1 lb/1,000 sq ft
  • Inoculant: None needed, seed is nitrocoated
  • Germination: 5–10 Days
  • Plant Height: 2'
  • Uses: Forage crop, nitrogen fixing, erosion control, weed suppression, and pollinator support
  • Facts to Note: Tolerates a wide range of soils, withstands mowing, reseeds readily, and continues to grow with adequate moisture. Hardy to 15°F and requires only 8–10" of rainfall annually.

Made to order. Minimum order quantity is 50 pounds.

Did You Know? Persian Clover’s long-blooming flowers not only enrich pollinator habitat but also extend forage availability later into the season compared to other clovers.

Note to Certified Organic Growers from Manufacturer: Nitro-coated seed is conventionally grown seed that has had an organically accepted seed coating applied to it. The seed itself is conventionally grown, non-GMO, and untreated (no fungicides or insecticide seed treatment applied) prior to coating.

Exactly what I wanted

This Persian clover grew marvelously in my back yard last summer, despite my free-ranging chickens. (I didn't keep them away from it, even right after I'd scattered the seed.) The chickens loved it, the bees (both honey and native) loved it, and various other beneficials loved it, too. It spread well and did a darned good job out-competing most of the weeds that're all the will grow here (5b, along the arid Front Range of Colorado) if you don't water. (Granted, it was somewhat wetter last May than normal when I spread the seed, but it survived the summer regardless.) It even handled being mowed well (mowed once to get the other weeds under control).

I had to be very careful where I stepped when it was blooming. :) I will definitely be buying more when it is back in stock.
