Berseem clover is a excellent cool season clover used for wildlife food plots, cattle forage and ground cover. Berseem clover is commonly planted with annual rye grass for livestock forage.
Product Description
- Fast winter growth rate
- Higher yielding than other winter clovers
- Produces forage until late May or early June
- Can grow as tall as 18 to 30 inches
- Superior quality
Product Information
Berseem clover is a winter annual legume with oblong leaflets and hollow stems. It grows upright and produces yellowish-white flowers. Big Bee is selected for its superior quality, rapid fall growth, and winter hardiness.
Berseem clover is similar in drought tolerance to alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) but can tolerate more soil moisture than alfalfa or sweet clover (Melilotus alba L.). Although berseem clover grows on a variety of soils, a medium, loam soil that is slightly alkaline is best.
Production practices are much the same as for other winter annual legumes. If you grow seed for production and/or reseeding, allow the seed to mature in the spring and have the area fallowed with final seedbed preparation in late August. Include Boron when applying fertilizer.
Management and Use
Begin grazing or cutting berseem clover when the stand reaches 10 inches in height and when basal shoots begin to grow. Graze or clip to a 3-inch height to encourage new shoot production. It is critical to remove excess growth before temperatures reach the freezing mark. Heavy stand losses can occur from crown rot if excess forage is present during freezing.
For best results, rotate the grazing of berseem clover. This will give better total production by increasing yield and by increasing longevity of stand in the spring.
You can seed berseem clover in a mixture with crimson or white clover. In combination with perennial or annual cool-season grasses or cereals, high-quality forage is produced. It should greatly increase the quality of ryegrass for hay.

United StatesSeed was encapsulated and enucleated. Pope’s right up and growing well!
That sounds great Peter. Thank you for choosing Hancock Seed.
United StatesVery pleased with the how fast my order arrived. Very pleased with the timely response I had when reaching out for customer service. I wish the seed options online had viewable seed labels. I thought I was purchasing 1 pound of clover, but when it arrived, the label showed that it was only 50% seed (due to the inoculate), but if I had seen a better description online or saw the seed label and knew about it, I would have planned accordingly and purchased 2 pounds of clover! This would have made my experience a 5/5
Our seeding rate reflects that it is a coated seed. I apologize that it isn't more clear! We will work on getting that adjusted. Thank you for choosing Hancock Seed.
