Red Clover is a versatile, short-lived perennial valued for its exceptional nitrogen-fixing ability, even in soils that already contain moderate nitrogen levels. More shade tolerant than many legumes, it can be over-seeded into small grains and incorporated the following spring. Seedlings establish slowly and benefit from a nurse crop. With deep taproots, Red Clover helps loosen compacted soils, improves soil structure, and provides effective weed suppression, making it an excellent choice for soil building and regeneration.
