Medium red clover is a productive cool-season short-lived perennial or biennial legume used for forage, wildlife plots, hay, and soil improvement. It grows more upright than white clovers and often establishes faster, making it a useful choice when quick clover growth is desired. It is well suited for mixed forage plantings and can provide strong spring and fall production. Medium red clover tolerates a wider range of soils than some other legumes but still benefits from proper pH and fertility. It also contributes nitrogen to the soil and helps improve overall plot quality.
