Trifolium incarnatum

 

Crimson Clover is a very fast-growing annual nitrogen-fixing legume.  An excellent weed suppressant which provides a rapid boost to soil fertility, crimson clover is ideal for sowing into empty vegetable beds, between crops or as part of a crop rotation. It can be cut down and incorporated into the soil before flowering to add valuable organic matter or left to flower to attract bees and other beneficial insects. Great when sown as a mix with phacelia and buckwheat.
