New Zealand White Clover (Trifolium Repens) - New Zealand white clover is a perennial, highly palatable, often used in pasture mixures west of the Cascade range. As a pasture plant, white clover yields are greatest in mild humid climates. Best adapted to well-drained silt loam and clay soils with a pH range from 6.0 to 7.0 in humid and irrigated areas. With adequate soil moisture and fertility, it can be grown on sandy soils. It is not tolerant of saline or highly alkaline soils. The plant is shallow-rooted, seldom goes deeper than 2 feet. For pastures, white clover is almost always seeded with grass to prevent bloat and reproductive problems. The flower color is usually white, but may be slightly pinkish.
Inoculant - Our clover seed is NOT preinoculated. For best inoculation, it should take place within 24 hours prior to planting; therefore, it is not advisable to preinocluate seed. For your convenience, we do sell inoculant separately at this link: Inoculant. However, inoculation has NO effect on germination and is rarely needed. Inoculant is normally only used in certain cover crop situations where extra nitrogen fixation is required or in very, very poor soil conditions.
Seeding rate 6 to 8 lbs/acre.
