Alsike Clover Seed delivers reliable results as a short-lived forage legume that thrives where others struggle. This dependable perennial does great in acidic and poorly drained soils, which is why it works well for a lot of things, from feeding livestock to improving your land. Though it is more compact than red clover, Alsike Clover compensates with finer stems and a greater leaf coverage, making it an ideal pick for hay production, wildlife food plots, and supporting vital pollinator populations.

Farmers and land managers see a big difference when incorporating Alsike Clover into their pasture management systems. Research demonstrates that mixing one-third legumes (like Alsike Clover) with two-thirds grass can boost steer weight by approximately 100 pounds within a single year. For best results, allow proper recovery time between cuttings and maintain adequate cutting height to promote longevity. While this hardy perennial handles cold and wet conditions admirably, it’s worth noting that it won’t perform optimally during drought or extreme heat. For maximum nitrogen fixation benefits, remember that proper inoculation is required (purchased separately). Note that Alsike Clover is not recommended for horses.
