Outsidepride Crimson Clover Seeds - 10 lbs. Annual, Nitrocoated, & Inoculated Ground Cover Seeds, Ideal Clover Seed for Lawn, Cover Crop, Pasture, Hay, Green Manure & Wildlife Forage

This review is for Zone 5 at >9,500 feet in Colorado. This variety of clover needs temperatures over 60* to germinate. Because nighttime temperatures where I live don’t get close to that temperature until July, I initially thought this variety was going to fail. But after July, the seeds started to germinate, and by late August I saw the first blooms. By mid-September I had lovely crimson blossoms everywhere—they filled in where the earlier-blooming wildflowers had started to die off. The elk, deer, and rabbits love it, so larger patches I planted never bloomed because the animals kept it cropped. But areas where the seeds were sparsely intermixed with wildflowers, the crimson clover has flourished, and the hummingbirds love them. I docked one star because I contacted the company after re-seeding in the spring with no plants coming up, and they never responded to my inquiry. The product gets 5 stars, the company gets 2.

I have only used a small amount of the seed due to weather. The seed that I did spread seems to be almost 100% germinated and growing. I will update next spring when I get a chance to use more. Seed was shipped in heavy plastic and was intact and dry.

Some came up , not as much as expected , however , 50/50 is my review

I know I had the perfect weather but all I can say is I planted it on Sunday, temps in the upper 70s, a nice slow rain Monday, and it started popping up on Thursday. This seed is awesome. Next spring the color is great and the early bees love then.

looking forward to see these in bloom
