100 Seeds Alsike Clover Trifolium hybridum

Alsike clover is a short-lived perennial forage legume known for its pink and white globe-shaped flower heads and vigorous growth in cool, moist conditions. It is a versatile plant often used in pastures, meadows, and wildlife plantings, valued for its ability to establish quickly and tolerate a range of soil types.

Alsike clover works well in mixed forage blends, cover crop rotations, and pollinator-friendly landscapes. Its flowers attract a variety of bees and beneficial insects, while its fibrous roots help improve soil structure. The plant performs best in cooler climates and can tolerate wetter soils than many other clovers, making it a useful choice for low-lying areas.
