Crimson Clover Seed | Raw Or Coated & Inoculated

Scientific Name: Trifolium incarnatum

Seed Ranch Crimson Clover Seed is a premium cool-season annual legume widely planted for livestock forage, wildlife food plots, cover cropping, soil improvement, erosion control, and seasonal color enhancement. Recognized for its brilliant crimson flower heads and nutrient-rich forage, Crimson Clover delivers exceptional performance in pastures, agricultural fields, and conservation plantings throughout much of the United States.

This versatile legume establishes quickly during the fall and develops a strong root system through the winter months before producing abundant forage growth in late winter and spring. Its highly digestible leaves and stems are readily consumed by livestock and wildlife, making it a valuable addition to grazing systems and wildlife management programs.

In addition to providing quality forage, Crimson Clover naturally fixes atmospheric nitrogen, helping improve soil fertility while reducing the need for supplemental nitrogen fertilizer. The striking red blooms also attract pollinators, including bees and beneficial insects, making it an excellent choice for pollinator habitats and conservation projects.


Key Benefits

Feature Benefit
High-Protein Forage Excellent feed source for livestock and wildlife
Nitrogen Fixation Helps improve soil fertility naturally
Attractive Crimson Blooms Creates stunning seasonal color and attracts pollinators
Cool-Season Growth Produces forage when warm-season grasses are dormant
Soil Improvement Increases organic matter and enhances soil health
Erosion Control Helps protect soil from runoff and erosion
Wildlife Attraction Popular choice for deer, turkey, and other game species
Potential Reseeding May return naturally under favorable management conditions

Adaptation & Growing Conditions

Crimson Clover performs best in fertile, well-drained soils with adequate moisture. It tolerates moderately acidic soil conditions and is commonly planted alone or in combination with annual ryegrass, oats, wheat, rye, bermudagrass, or bahiagrass overseeding programs.

Growing Requirement Recommendation
Climate Cool-Season Annual
Sun Exposure Full Sun to Partial Sun
Soil Type Loam, Clay Loam, and Other Well-Drained Soils
Soil pH 5.5–7.0
Drainage Well-Drained Preferred
Drought Tolerance Moderate
Flood Tolerance Low

Crimson Clover is less suited for excessively sandy soils, drought-prone locations, or areas that remain saturated for extended periods.


Recommended Seeding Rates

Raw Crimson Clover Seed

Application Seeding Rate
Per Acre 20–25 lbs.
Per 1,000 Sq. Ft. 0.5–0.6 lbs.

Coated & Inoculated Crimson Clover Seed

Application Seeding Rate
Per Acre 25–35 lbs.
Per 1,000 Sq. Ft. 0.6–0.8 lbs.

Why Are Coated Seeding Rates Higher?

Coated and inoculated seed includes a protective seed coating and beneficial rhizobium inoculant designed to support germination and nitrogen-fixing activity. Because the coating adds weight to each seed, there are fewer actual seeds per pound compared to raw seed. Increasing the seeding rate helps achieve proper plant populations and more uniform stand establishment.


Planting Information

Planting Factor Recommendation
Planting Season Fall through Early Winter
Planting Depth ¼–½ Inch
Germination Time Approximately 7–14 Days
Companion Plantings Ryegrass, Small Grains, Bermudagrass, Bahiagrass
Moisture Requirement Consistent Moisture During Establishment

Proper seed-to-soil contact is important for successful germination and vigorous early growth.


Grazing & Harvest Management

Crimson Clover should generally be allowed to reach 6–8 inches in height before grazing begins. To encourage continued growth and stand persistence, avoid grazing below 3–5 inches. The forage produced is highly palatable and can be utilized for grazing, hay production, or silage.

For producers interested in natural reseeding, grazing pressure should be reduced during peak flowering and seed development. Allowing plants to mature and set seed can help establish future stands under favorable growing conditions.


Common Uses

  • Livestock Pastures

  • Wildlife Food Plots

  • Deer Habitat Enhancement

  • Pollinator Plantings

  • Cover Crops

  • Nitrogen-Building Programs

  • Hay Production

  • Silage Production

  • Erosion Control Projects

  • Roadside and Landscape Beautification

Comfortable Shoes Right Out of the Box
Size: 9, Color: Black
I bought these shoes for my husband. He has a very hard time finding quality, comfortable shoes. These shoes are just as comfortable as his New Balance. He uses them as a dress shoe and wears them at least once a week. There was no break in period necessary. They were comfortable right out of the box! The only thing we didn't like was the white sole color. Once I knew he was going to keep them, I used a black sharpie marker to color the soles black. Instant amazing, comfortable dress shoes. They were well worth the cost. If you or your SO needs a comfortable pair of shoes, we highly recommend them.

Decent Shoes with Misleading Description (Not Leather)
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black, Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black
I only look for leather when I’m purchasing dress shoes. Under the description “details” on this item it lists the shoe as leather upper and inner lining. A photo shows “genuine Napa leather lining”. If you keep reading (which I have now that I’ve received the shoes) it shows “faux leather” in the small print and that is not “leather”. I run a small leather business and this irks me because it’s clearly false advertising. The details also show the product is made in Brazil but when they arrived today, the shoe tag shows “Made in China” and “Man Made upper and lower”. I don’t hate the shoes. They look nice. What I know is they won’t hold up over time like leather, which is why the description should be accurate and not misleading.
