TomorrowSeeds - Crimson Clover Seeds - 1000+ Count - For 2026 Planting USA Garden Flower Italian

Crimson Clover is a striking, fast-growing legume that features deep red flowers, creating a vibrant contrast in any garden or field. Its lush green foliage and vivid blossoms make it an attractive addition to landscapes and gardens. Known for its versatility, Crimson Clover is not only beautiful but also highly beneficial as a cover crop. It enriches the soil by fixing nitrogen, improving soil structure, and providing valuable organic matter. The deep taproot of this clover helps break up compacted soil, improving water retention and drainage. Crimson Clover is also an excellent choice for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies, creating a wildlife-friendly environment. Additionally, it offers great erosion control, making it perfect for planting on slopes or areas prone to soil degradation. Crimson clover fixes up to 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre, and prefers well-drained, loam soils with good organic matter content for best results. The seeds and flowers are edible; seeds can be sprouted and used in salads or sandwiches, or dried and ground into flour; the flower heads can be used fresh or dried as a tea.
