Crimson Clover Seed for Deer Food Plot Pastures Hay Silage Bees Reseeding Clover
Dixie Crimson Clover is a re-seeding clover and is usually planted in the summer to early fall. It is a winter annual and can be utilized in deer food plots, pastures, hay, organic farming, as a pollinator enhancement for bees, silage mixes, or simply used as a winter cover crop and soil improvement. It is also a beautiful crop to look at with crimson-colored flowers.

I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
