Clover Varieties & Facts - Compare Durana & Patriot Clover
Red Clovers Trifolium pratense L. Red clover is most popular and widely grown true clover. It is planted both alone and within existing grass stands. Red clovers are divided into three types used in US.; Early flowering (medium), late flowering, and intermediate forms. Red clovers grow best in areas where summer temperatures are cool (not hot) and moisture is sufficient throughout growing period. Northeastern states are the best area for this crop. Growing in Southeast it is best used as a winter annual. In the Northeast states it usually requires irrigation. Spring seeding works best. Crimson clovers are included in this category of clover performing best as a cool season annual which will re-seed itself and are commonly used throughout the Southern USA for winter forage & pasture.
White Clovers Trifolium repens L. White clover originated in Europe and Asia and has adapted to the US to become a highly important pasture legume. Some varieties of White Clover were indigenous to North America. It is best adapted to humid sections of the temperate zone. White Clovers prefer clay and silt soils where annual rainfall is above 35 inches or on irrigated soils. Three types of white clover exist: Large - Ladino & Regal, intermediate (Louisiana white) and small (English or NY wild). Common White clover (Dutch Clover) is considered either intermediate or small or a mix. Ladino clovers grow more than twice as large as common white clovers.
Crimson Clover Trifolium Incarnatum L.
Crimson clover is native to southern Europe and is well adapted to the southern USA as a forage and cover crop when planted in the fall with growth continuing through the winter. To establish crimson clover in areas of affected by severe cold, it should be planted in early spring although there will be a later maturity on this crop. If planting in the Northern USA, you should plant before August for establishment before extremely cold weather sets in. Crimson clover makes for an excellent winter grazing crop and thrives when planted with grasses. It is also used for hay production and as a cover crop with the nutritive value being the highest when harvested in the pre-bloom stage. If turned under into the soil as a green manure, crimson clover will return 100 to 120 lbs of nitrogen.
