Ladino/White Clover

 

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.
