Our red clover blend is a combination of three types of red clovers:  Medium Red Clover, Mammoth Red Clover and Crimson Clover.  This blend germinates fast and grows quick and thick in cool weather.  It grows especially well in well-drained soils, and though it is quite shade tolerant it also grows well in sunny exposures.  Deep growing taproots in this blend draw essential nutrients from the soil making it incredible forage for deer for the 2-3 years that it persists.  Insects and bees love this blend as well, making it attractive to birds.  This universal blend prefers drier sites and will be loved by everyone from hunters implementing buck plots to tea-lovers harvesting blossoms for tea time!  8ounces plants 1,000 sq. ft.

 

 

 

 

Like our red clover blend, our white clover blend is also a blend of three "white" clovers:  Alice White Clover, New Zealand White Clover and Yellow Sweet Clover.  This long-lived, hardy, self-propagating, nitrogen-fixing perennial provides excellent, high nutritive forage by drawing potassium and phosphorus from the subsoil with its thick taproots.  Bees and birds will love this perennial (persisiting 5-6 years with maintenance), but it is especially favored by deer all through the growing season and beyond.  This blend grows well in wet environments where other blends struggle (even clay/loam).  A choice blend given the high amount of rain the Northeast has!  A must-have blend for gardeners and food plotters alike.  8 ounces plants 1,000 sq. ft.

 

 

The focus when formulating Vermont Specialty Clover Blends was colder climates and harsher, shorter growing seasons.  This clover was selected for its success in New England, where other blends that have their origins in the south's warmer, longer growing seasons haven't proved nearly as productive or long lasting.
