I had a new home built, and the entire area was exposed, clay-heavy dirt. I decided to use this to recover some of the soil quality, and protect it from erosion. Through the spring, it took off like crazy, sprouting within a week and filling the area in a month. By summer, with regular mowing, it was starting to give way to local grasses. At this point, the only plants left are in the corners with too much clay for the other species to really survive.I'm not sure I'd recommend it to someone who specifically wants clover; it's an annual, not a perennial, and most of mine is gone now that it's the start of Autumn. But it served my purposes perfectly.

I highly recommend these for cover crops. They are great quality and sprout fast. Gorgeous colored clover. Looking forward to buying these again.

I distributed the seeds on clay soil on a hillside because I want it to be established before winter comes. Germination rate is good. Will buy more if it looks good in a month or so

This review is for Zone 5 at >9,500 feet in Colorado. This variety of clover needs temperatures over 60* to germinate. Because nighttime temperatures where I live don’t get close to that temperature until July, I initially thought this variety was going to fail. But after July, the seeds started to germinate, and by late August I saw the first blooms. By mid-September I had lovely crimson blossoms everywhere—they filled in where the earlier-blooming wildflowers had started to die off. The elk, deer, and rabbits love it, so larger patches I planted never bloomed because the animals kept it cropped. But areas where the seeds were sparsely intermixed with wildflowers, the crimson clover has flourished, and the hummingbirds love them.I docked one star because I contacted the company after re-seeding in the spring with no plants coming up, and they never responded to my inquiry. The product gets 5 stars, the company gets 2.

We have had so many problems with our back yard garden. We have long strips of red mud and muddy banks on either side of our patio. Due to rain run off and flooding due to poor drainage in a ditch that runs behind our property we have been getting flooding. We fixed our flooding issue but not matter what we do we could not get grass to grow. I mean we have put down tons of seeds. And what little grass we do have looks pitiful and no amount of fertilizer helps it. So we decided to transform our entire back yard and muddy banks into a clover yard. I was so worried that they would not grow and would get washed away before they germinated. But in just 2 days we had 1in sprouts and now they are growing bigger everyday. These seeds are good quality and the coating I think gave them a better chance at germination. We got 100% growth from every seed. We planted the crimson clover on the muddy banks and along our kennel fence and walk way. Crimson clover grows fast and it is a beneficial winter food for wildlife. We planted european clover what you normally find in your yard in our main area of the back yard from the same company. I highly recommend these seeds. The best part about a clover yard is with a little patients you will turn your yard into a low maintenance no need for mowing wild life oasis. It feeds deer, rabbits bees and butterfly's clover yards along with planting native wild flowers will turn your yard into a wildlife sanctuary and you can enjoy the green all winter long depending on what zone you live in. We will be purchasing more to add to what is already growing. And the best part about clover is it puts nitrogen into the soil along with other nutrients and leaves the soil in a better condition than it was prior to you planting it. I would give them 4 thumbs up if I had two extra hands!

This bag of clover is the best I've used. You get plenty of clover seed so its a great value. Sprouted within a few days. Will buy again

Some came up , not as much as expected , however , 50/50 is my review

I’m using it primarily as a cover crop to fix nitrogen and suppress weeds between planting seasons, and it’s done the job beautifully. It also breaks down easily once mowed, making it ideal for no-till gardening.If you’re looking for a fast-growing, beneficial legume to enrich your soil and boost pollinator activity, this is a great option. I’ll definitely be ordering again.I planted this 2 lb bag of crimson clover seed in early spring to improve the soil in my raised beds, and I’m really happy with the results so far.✅ Germination rate was excellent — most of the seeds sprouted within a week✅ Beautiful deep red blooms started showing after about 6 weeks✅ Attracted pollinators and added great color to the garden✅ Easy to broadcast by hand and didn’t require complicated prep
