Clover Seeds - Crimson Clover

Brilliant scarlet blooms that enrich soil, feed pollinators, and beautify any field or garden

Description

Radiant and full of quiet vigor, Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum) unfurls deep scarlet flower spikes that glow like embers against a field of soft green. Its stems rise with gentle purpose, each blossom a dense, velvety torch that sways in the sun and draws pollinators in great number. When massed, the plants create a sweeping red tapestry that seems almost to shimmer, a living carpet stirred by wind and light.

Native to Europe yet long naturalized across the American landscape, this annual thrives in full sun and well drained soil, flourishing with swift growth in spring or autumn. Reaching 12–20 inches in height, it matures quickly, fixing nitrogen into the soil while casting a protective cover that enriches the earth for the seasons to follow. Bees, butterflies, and many small creatures take refuge in its blooms, turning each patch into a humming sanctuary of life.

Beloved as a cover crop, forage plant, and brilliant ornamental, Crimson Clover stands as a gift of renewal and fertility. Its scarlet flowers dry beautifully for natural décor, while its roots quietly heal the soil beneath. Simple, steadfast, and glowing with crimson grace, it remains one of the most cherished clovers to grace garden or field—modest in stature, yet generous in all it offers.
