Perennial Red Clover Seeds - Self-Seeding, Nitrocoated, Inoculated Clover Seeds for Lawn, Yard, Forage, Pasture, Hay, Nitrogen Fixation, Soil Improvement & Crop Rotation Programs
Enrich your landscape with Dhara Seeds, a big, trusted name in the USA seed market with a vast, high-quality selection of non-GMO seeds and heirloom seeds. Our Red Clover Seeds offer a versatile, self-seeding perennial that enhances lawns, yards, and agricultural spaces alike. These seeds for planting grow into robust Trifolium pratense plants, delivering lush foliage and pinkish-purple blooms perfect for forage, pasture, hay, and sustainable gardening. With nitrogen fixation and soil improvement benefits, this inoculated clover is a must-have for eco-conscious gardeners and farmers.
This heirloom variety forms dense clumps 1to 6 inches tall, crowned with vibrant flower heads that bloom from late spring to fall. The trifoliate leaves and blossoms provide nutritious forage for livestock, high-quality hay, or a lush ground cover for yards. Its self-seeding nature ensures long-term growth, often lasting to years, while the nitrocoated seeds boost germination and nodulation for maximum yield. Use it in crop rotation programs to enrich soil, suppress weeds, or create a pollinator-friendly haven for bees and butterflies.
Red Clover thrives in full sun to partial shade, needing to 6 hours of light daily for optimal growth. It adapts to a variety of well-draining soils—loam, clay, or sandy—with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0, excelling in fertile conditions enriched with organic matter. This hardy plant tolerates moderate drought once established, though it prefers consistent moisture during its first season. Good airflow around the foliage prevents disease, making it ideal for temperate climates and diverse landscapes.
Sow these Dhara Seeds in early spring or late summer, broadcasting ½ to 1 pound per 1,000 square feet (8-16 lbs per acre) and covering with ¼ inch of soil. The inoculated coating, treated with Rhizobium, enhances nitrogen fixation—lightly rake seeds into prepared soil and keep moist until germination in 7 to 1 days. For lawns or yards, mix with grass seed; for pasture or hay, plant solo or with cool-season grasses. Thin seedlings if needed, and expect blooms in the first or second year, depending on conditions.
Maintain even moisture during germination and early growth, watering gently to avoid washing away seeds. Once established, provide 1 inch of water weekly during dry periods, focusing at the base to keep leaves dry and healthy. Mulch can retain soil moisture and regulate temperature, especially in hot climates. Overwatering should be avoided, as this clover’s deep roots tap into moisture reserves, supporting its drought tolerance and vigor.
Red Clover grows as a perennial in USDA Hardiness Zones to 9, thriving in temperate regions with cool winters and warm summers. In colder zones, it may act as a biennial or self-seed for regrowth; in milder climates, it persists longer with proper care. Globally, it suits areas with moderate rainfall and well-defined seasons, making it a reliable choice for sustainable soil improvement and crop rotation.
These Dhara Seeds deliver a powerhouse of benefits: nitrogen fixation enriches soil naturally, reducing fertilizer needs, while its dense growth improves structure and curbs erosion. Perfect for lawn alternatives, yard beautification, or pasture mixes, it provides high-protein forage and supports livestock health. Its self-seeding habit ensures low maintenance, and its adaptability makes it a cornerstone for crop rotation programs, boosting future yields and attracting pollinators for a thriving ecosystem.
Scatter Red Clover in lawns for a low-mow, nitrogen-rich carpet, or plant in yards as a flowering ground cover. In pasture settings, pair it with grasses for grazing or hay production; in gardens, use it as a living mulch or border accent. Its height and texture add depth to landscapes, while its soil-enhancing roots make it a smart pick for soil improvement projects, blending practicality with natural beauty.
With Dhara Seeds, a big, trusted name in the seed world, offering a wide range of high-quality, non-GMO varieties to gardeners everywhere, these Red Clover Seeds bring sustainability and vibrancy to your outdoor spaces. Their self-seeding, nitrocoated, and inoculated qualities ensure easy growth and lasting impact, perfect for lawns, forage, and beyond.
Broadcast ½ to 1 lb per 1,000 sq ft (8-16 lbs per acre) in spring or late summer, covering with ¼ inch of soil. Keep moist until germination (7-1 days), then water weekly at the base. Plant near grasses for lawns or solo for pasture; blooms appear in 60-1days from spring sowing.
Sow in early spring after the last frost or late summer for fall establishment, when soil is °F or warmer. In northern zones, aim for late winter to early spring; in southern zones, autumn works best for vigorous growth.
No, they’re easy with basic care—full sun, moderate water, and well-draining soil. The nitrocoated and inoculated seeds ensure strong starts, and their self-seeding nature simplifies maintenance, making them ideal for beginners and pros alike.
