- Delivers quality feed when needed: Supports stock growth in late winter/early spring periods when feed supply is often limited.
- Helps improve soil fertility: As a legume, it fixes nitrogen and supports companion grass growth.
- Offers versatility: Usable for grazing, hay, silage or as part of a pasture renewal strategy.
- Suitable for challenging paddocks: Works well in wetter soils, soils with lower fertility or as part of a crop-pasture rotation.
Strawberry Clover is a hardy, stoloniferous perennial legume that thrives in wet, saline, or heavy soils where traditional white clovers may struggle. Known for its adaptability and tolerance to challenging conditions, Strawberry Clover is an excellent option for low-lying, coastal, or periodically waterlogged paddocks.
It provides reliable feed production, strong nitrogen fixation, and long-term persistence, making it an ideal choice for both pasture improvement and soil restoration.
