In a garden, Crimson Clover makes a good companion plant as it helps suppress weeds, boosts nitrogen levels in soil, and attracts beneficial insects to keep harmful pests at bay. In a meadow, annual Crimson Clover grows easily, and adds deep red blooms for a burst of color without crowding out other flowers.
Crimson clover is native to southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia Minor, and was introduced to the United States as a forage and cover crop in the 1800's. It has a shallow root system and grows quickly, making it a favorite choice for cover crops or green manure to prevent erosion and improve soil nutrients. Crimson Clover grows best on well-drained, fertile, loamy soils, but it is adaptable and can be grown in clay or sandy soils. This cool season grower thrives in temperatures between 40-70 °F and may struggle to grow in intense heat or cold. It may reseed in optimal conditions, but for best results, sow fresh seed each season.
