Ball Clover is a cool season clover that is sometimes mistaken for white clover, but the blooms are smaller and more rounded. Although it can be quite productive, it has a shorter growing season and often yields less than other commonly grown annual clovers. The primary period of growth is early to mid-spring. Ball clover is best suited to heavy soils, but is surprisingly well adapted to fairly dry sites as well.  - Excellent reseeding but seedlings have poor vigor. - Inoculate with Rhizobia bacteria specific to ball clover. - High bloat potential (should be mixed with Ryegrass to reduce risk). - Clover head weevil may reduce seed yields; resistant to alfalfa weevil. - Good for wildlife plots. - Commonly used for Honey Bees   Growth Habit: Short, 1-2 feet tall, erect growth, low growing, looks like white clover.Origin: Mediterranean RegionProduction Season: March to June. Late maturing, late production, similar to Arrowleaf clover.Nutritive Value: Varies depending on maturity (leaf:stem ratio). Usually medium to high crude protein; medium to high digestibility.
