Large-Leaf Clover for Forage, Lawns, and Soil Health
Ladino White Clover is a vigorous, large-leafed perennial legume known for producing high-quality forage and thriving in pastures, food plots, and lawns. It spreads rapidly by creeping stems, forming a lush, low-maintenance ground cover that suppresses weeds and improves soil fertility naturally.
Highly palatable to livestock and rich in protein, Ladino is a top choice for grazing systems, cover cropping, and sustainable landscapes. Its ability to fix nitrogen makes it a valuable companion to pasture grasses and turf blends.
