When to Plant Arrowleaf Clover?

Arrowleaf clover can grow well on a wide variety of soils, but does best on soils that are well-drained. It can be sown in early September in more northern climates and early to mid-October in the south. Soil preparation is critical to successfully establish this crop.

How long does Arrowleaf clover last?

It will not tolerate acid soils. This clover generally produces less forage in late fall and winter than crimson clover but can produce six weeks (or more) longer in spring. In most areas of the state, it will provide excellent quality grazing until late May.

Can you plant Arrowleaf clover in the spring?

Great for late spring forage.

Arrowleaf is a favorite among Southerners who want late spring forage. It can be sown in the fall with other legumes, such as crimson, ryegrass, rye and oats. Arrowleaf delivers abundant tonnage late in the spring, filling the last forage gap before the warm season grasses kick in.
