Crimson clover
Summary
Crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum) is a self-regenerating annual legume, which originated in Eurasia and is naturalised in countries of this region that have temperate or Mediterranean climates. It germinates in autumn, and exhibits relatively good winter production followed by rapid growth in early to mid-spring. The vigorous upright growth of crimson clover, coupled with its ability to grow productively on a wide range of soils under differing climatic conditions, make it well-suited to fodder conservation.
