Trifolium pratense
A short-lived perennial clover (~3 years) that can be grown as an annual. A powerhouse nitrogen fixer which will improve soil structure, feed soil microorganisms and suppress weeds. Ideal for sowing in spring in an area where you would like to improve the soil for coming crops as part of a rotation. Alternatively, sow after an early harvested crop such as potatoes to establish overwinter. Red clover will regrow well after mowing and can be used as an excellent source of nitrogen-rich material for the compost heap. The pinky/red blooms are particularly attractive to bumblebees.
