Description

Dixie Crimson Clover is a cool season reseeding annual legume with an erect growth habit and a shallow taproot system. It is widely used for feeding and attracting deer, turkey, rabbits, and other game species to food plot areas. Crimson is a widely adapted plant that tolerates different soil types and low pH soils. It is an excellent and dependable re-seeding clover that is early maturing. Crimson performs well in mixtures with small grains or later maturing clover. When planted in the fall, Crimson Clover produces more forage at low temperatures. It thrives when planted with other grasses and is an excellent late winter grazing crop.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Products

What is the recommended seeding rate and planting depth?
  • Planting Depth: Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep into a finely prepared, firm seedbed to ensure proper soil-to-seed contact.

  • Seeding Rate: Broadcast or drill at 10–12 lbs per acre for pure stands, or 4–6 lbs per acre when incorporating into forage or pasture mixes

  • Ideal pH: Thrives best in soils with a pH ranging from 6.0 to 7.0.

  • Soil & Fertility: Prefers well-drained to moderately drained soils rich in phosphorus and potassium. Limit heavy nitrogen applications to prevent weed competition.

  • Nitrogen Fixation: Pre-inoculation with host-specific Rhizobium bacteria promotes natural nitrogen fixation, cutting down on synthetic fertilizer costs.

  • Protection & Stand Establishment: The protective coating guards young seedlings against early moisture stress and soil-borne diseases for more uniform germination.

  • Spring Window: Plant from late March through May once soil temperatures reach 50°F.

  • Late Summer / Frost Seeding: A secondary window opens from August through early September. You can also frost-seed by broadcasting onto frozen ground in late winter (February–March).

  • Harvest Timing: Cut for hay or graze at 10–12% bloom to maximize digestibility and crude protein levels.

  • Overwintering: Allow a 4-to-6-week recovery period prior to the first hard autumn frost so plants can store root reserves for winter survival.
