Outsidepride White Cloud Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum) is a versatile, nitrogen-fixing plant that thrives in USDA Zones 3-9 and grows to a mature height of 1-3 feet. Known for enhancing soil quality, it is perfect for erosion control, wildlife attraction, and pollinator support. This clover flourishes in early spring, making it a valuable addition to gardens, pastures, and food plots. With a lack of red coloration, there are lower levels of bitter anthocyanins thus making it a sweeter clover so palatability and intake should be higher.
Nitrogen Fixation
White Cloud is adapted to any region where crimson clover is used for cover crops, whether spring or fall sown. Its high dry matter yield and the ability of annual clovers to fix nitrogen makes White Cloud a great choice for cover crop or rotation/green manure applications.
Versatile Use
Use this unique crimson clover for hay, pasture, silage, livestock, forage, wildlife food plots, cover crops, green manure crops, crop rotations, nitrogen fixator, and for a ground cover. Our white cloud crimson clover seed that has been coated with an inoculant for better establishment.
Forage Quality
White Cloud Crimson Clover is a high-protein, palatable forage choice for livestock. Its rich taste attracts grazers for greener pasture management. Though not statistically quantified, anecdotal evidence have shown that White Cloud is preferred by livestock and wildlife over other palatable forage.
Pollinator Attraction
White Cloud Crimson Clover’s striking blooms attract pollinators, enhancing biodiversity. These blooms are especially appealing to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators looking for rich food sources. The long blooming period of crimson clover provides a consistent supply of nectar, supporting pollinators over an extended season.
Outsidepride White Cloud Crimson Clover seeds thrive in early spring with optimal germination at nighttime temperatures below 60 degrees. Well-suited for USDA Zones 3-9, they grow best when nighttime lows are above 40 degrees and daytime highs exceed 55 degrees. This clover adapts well to environments, enhancing soil quality and enriching soil nutrients. With adequate moisture, it supports a balanced environment, complementing ground cover plants and drought-tolerant wildflower seed mixes.
White Cloud Crimson Clover is perfect for food plots that attract wildlife, including deer, rabbits, and turkeys, as well as pollinators like honeybees and butterflies. Its open flower structure makes it easy for pollinators to access, while also adding beauty to landscapes, making it a popular choice for enhancing biodiversity and supporting pollinator health. Additionally, planting crimson clover as a cover crop can improve soil quality, creating a thriving ecosystem that benefits both plants and pollinators alike.
White Cloud Crimson Clover is sown at 20–25 pounds per acre and germination period of 7–10 days when planted at a depth of 1/4 inch. Crimson clover germinates and establishes best with nighttime temperatures below 60 degrees. Spring planting is best when nighttime temperatures are above 40 degrees and daytime temperatures are above 55 degrees. Adequate moisture is critical, especially in dry weather.

Seeding Rate: 20 - 25 lbs per acre for broadcast seeding
Inoculated Seed - We now offer White Cloud crimson clover seed that has been coated with an inoculant for better establishment. Rhizobium strains are specifically chosen for each seed type. A key to any successful establishment and early seed development is moisture. This coating with inoculant is naturally water absorbent and helps attract soil moisture to the seed, getting your stand established quickly. This coating process which Outsidepride utilizes, assures that only the top-performing and crop-specific rhizobia will be applied to ensure your clovers reach maximum nodulation, stand establishment, and yield potential. The weight of the clover seeds will contain approximately 50% coating material that contains the inoculant and water holding material for better establishment and viability of the seed. There is no difference in the seeding rates between the coated and raw seed due to the increased germination and viability of the bulk clover seeds that are coated and inoculated.
