Crimson clover is a flowering plant belonging to the legume family, known scientifically as Trifolium incarnatum. It features vibrant red flowers and is often used as a cover crop due to its ability to improve soil health by fixing nitrogen. This makes it beneficial for farmers and gardeners looking to enhance soil fertility. In addition to its agricultural uses, crimson clover is also popular for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. It typically blooms in spring and early summer, providing a beautiful display in fields and gardens. Its adaptability to various soil types makes it a versatile choice for many landscapes.
