Ladino Clover and new, large, taller white clovers are short-lived
perennials with a persistance of only 1-2 years. They can reseed
themselves. Both plants are in the white clover family because,
as the name implies, they have white blossoms. These two clovers
are unique because they spread by stolons (above ground stems)
and the leaves and flowers also originate from the stolons. Ladino
clover is a large type of white clover and is more productive than
white clover in hay or forage production. Ladino cover is also
used in deer food plots. White clover may be used in pastures;
however, it has been primarily used for lawns and low cover. These
products have a shallow root system, no drought tolerance and do
not persist very well on extremely sandy soil.
Establishment
Test soil and apply recommended lime and fertilizer prior
to planting. Ladino/White Clover has excellent seedling
vigor and may be used
for frost seeding or renovating existing pastures.
