100 Crimson Clover Seeds – Heirloom Red Flower for Pollinator Gardens, Non-GMO

Crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum) is a fast-growing annual known for its brilliant crimson-red flower spikes that light up gardens, meadows, and cover crop plantings in spring. This heirloom variety is a favorite for pollinator gardens, attracting bees and beneficial insects with its abundant nectar and pollen. It also works well as a green manure or living mulch, adding organic matter and helping to improve soil when tilled in.

Whether you are planting a wildflower patch, enriching a vegetable bed, or adding a splash of early-season color, crimson clover is an easy and rewarding choice. Its vibrant blooms rise above soft, hairy green leaves and create a striking display in borders, raised beds, and open fields.

Planting & Care

Sow crimson clover seeds directly in the garden in early spring or fall, depending on your climate. Scatter seeds over prepared soil and lightly rake them in, covering no more than 1/4 inch deep. Keep the area consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs within 7–14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to encourage healthy, bushy growth.

Once established, crimson clover requires little maintenance. Water during dry spells to keep plants vigorous, and allow flowers to mature for maximum pollinator benefit. If using as a cover crop, mow or till plants before they set seed to incorporate the green matter into the soil. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
