Product Information
When compared to Dixie Crimson Clover, White Cloud Crimson Clover provides faster forage, higher protein and increased nitrogen production. The maturity is similar to the Dixie Crimson Clover.
White Cloud Crimson Clover is much sweeter than other Crimson Clovers, thus will attract deer and wildlife best above all other Crimson Clovers. This is due to the lack of red coloration. There are lower levels of bitter anthocyanins, so palatability, and thus, intake, will be higher. Though not statistically quantified, anecdotal evidence has shown that White Cloud is preferred by hunters and grazers over other palatable forage clovers.

Planting of Crimson Clover can occur throughout much of the year depending on the farmer’s goal. A successful broadcast seeding is directly correlated to the amount of soil moisture or rainfall that is present after the application. A fall planting should occur 6 to 8 weeks before the first killing frost date if winterkill is a concern for your area. Emergence will occur within 7 - 10 days.
Instructions
When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.
If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation. If you choose to use chemicals, herbicides or fertilizers, you must check with the product's manufacturer prior to planting new seed to ensure the proper waiting period.
When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippingsx. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.
