Alsike Clover (Trifolium hybridum) is a hardy, nitrogen-fixing perennial clover valued for pasture improvement, soil building, erosion control, and pollinator support. It produces beautiful globe-shaped flower heads that range from pale pink to rosy white, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
Highly adaptable and tolerant of wet or poorly drained soils, Alsike Clover performs especially well in cooler climates where other clovers may struggle. It grows 12–30 inches tall and establishes quickly, making it ideal for meadows, forage mixes, wildlife plots, and soil restoration projects.
As a legume, Alsike Clover improves soil fertility naturally by fixing atmospheric nitrogen through its root system, making it an excellent green manure and companion crop.
