Our Inoculated, Nitro-Coated Ladino Clover Seed
Our Ladino clover seed has been treated with Nitro-Coat®, a seed coating and inoculation process that applies crop-specific Rhizobium strains to support root nodulation and nitrogen fixation. The coating also helps attract and absorb soil moisture to support improved seed establishment. The coating material makes up approximately 34% of the total seed weight. No adjustment to the seeding rate is required; sow at the recommended rate according to the package instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Ladino clover seed be used in a mix?
Yes. Jumbo Ladino clover seed is commonly planted blended with Ryegrass, Orchard Grass, or other varieties of grass seed.

Yes. With bright blooms and lush foliage, Ladino clover is highly attractive to pollinators and helps to support a healthy ecosystem.
How tall does Ladino clover get?
Ladino white clover reaches 10-14 inches tall when fully mature. It is 2 to 4 times as large as common white clover, which is why it is sometimes referred to as jumbo Ladino clover.
Is Ladino clover the same as white clover?
Ladino clover, or Trifolium repens var. giganteum, is a large-leaved, tall-growing type of white clover that is often used in pastures and wildlife food plots. General white clover comes in different varieties, including White Dutch Clover, and grows low to the ground, making it an ideal lawn cover.
