Additional Information
Why We Recommend This
Alsike clover attracts bees and is better suited for wet soils, acidic soils or severe winters compared to other clovers. In mixes with grasses, alsike produces high quality forage and hay.
Things to Watch Out For
Alsike clover can be outcompeted by other clovers and is not normally grown alone. It can become invasive when not properly managed.
