A giant version of white clover, smooth with a prostrate growth habit. When mature, it contains a high percentage of crude protein and amino acids (the building blocks of life). Best used as a pasture perennial as it does not dry well for hay or chop. Highly nutritious white clover used mainly for hog pasture. Fine, overshoe-height, high-yielding, and palatable. It recovers quickly after grazing.
Use with mixtures of alfalfa, red clover, timothy, or bromegrass.

An early flowering variety which produces two to three hay crops per year, and has biennial or short lived perennial growth habit.

Perennial legume, best adapted to moist, fine textured soils and cool climates. Spreads by means of stolons. Shallow roots fix nitrogen in the soil, lessening the need for high nitrogen fertilizers. Can produce white pinkish flowers at a mowing height of only one inch. White clover is a perennial legume, which spreads by branching stolons. Like all other legumes it produces its own nitrogen. Recently, farm trials have shown these newer varieties release higher levels of nitrogen to the companion grass than older varieties. White clover is mainly used in grazing pastures for its high protein and energy value. Recent studies show an increased dry-matter intake of 2 pounds per cow per day when white clove is added to the grass. A good mixture of grass and white clover can yield as much as pure grass that receives 175 pounds of nitrogen per acre.
