This is a warm season, annual legume which is a tropical clover. It is heat and drought tolerant and grows to heights of 12-24 inches with pink flowers. It blooms in later summer, early fall and is high yielding during the heat of the summer. Although an annual, it can reestablish each year by natural reseeding if the crop is allowed to make seed in the fall. A favorite forage for deer, turkey and other wildlife. It is high in protein and slow to establish. Can blend it with other seeds such as buckwheat, cowpeas, etc.
