Description Stems and leaves are smooth Short lived perennial, often used as biennial The pink or white heads are smaller then red clover heads Blooms throughout the year Root system penetrates deeply into the subsoil Roots survive the frost to grow a new plant the following spring

Adaptation Cool season crop in low-lying moist areas Can withstand soils which are waterlogged Can stand spring floods up to six weeks Also suited well for acidic, organic soils Seeded very shallow, most tolerant of cold and frost Damage from insects and diseases are very uncommon

Limitations Intolerant of drought and high temperatures Salinity tolerance is low Shade tolerance is poor and will not make it Less useful for mixtures

Uses Used for hay in moister areas of Montana It yields very well----- 1.5 tons/acre One cutting can be harvested for hay each season Bloat can be prevented if only 1/2 stand

Cost and pounds/acre 60 pounds/bu. Seeding rate is 6-10lbs./acre 680,000 seeds/pound $1.95/lb. $59.50/50lb. bag
