Red clover
Abstract
"Red clover (Trifolium pratense L) is a short-lived perennial and is the most widely grown of all the true clovers. Classifying red clover is sometimes confusing, but the red clovers grown in this country may be grouped into two divisions-early fiowering and late fiowering. The more useful of the two types grown in Missouri is the early flowering type, usually referred to as medium red clover. This type produces two or three hay crops per year and is usually treated as a biennial, although it is actually a short-lived perennial. Some new varieties of this type will produce to their full capacity for three years or more. An example is Kenstar, released by the University of Kentucky."--First page.
