Balansa Clover

Balansa clover is a cool-season annual legume that can grow over a wide range of soils. As with most legumes, fall growth is slow but once dormancy breaks in the spring, Balansa clover can grow up to 10 feet in length. Flowering of Balansa clover will occur about 2 weeks later than crimson clover, making balansa an excellent addition to a pollinator mix. Balansa clover is typically hard seeded meaning 1/3 – 1/2 of the seeds may germinate over several years, this could be an advantage to anyone wanting to retain the annual species in a pasture or food plot.
