Bring beauty, fragrance, and fertility to your garden with Persian clover ‘Gorby’
Persian clover (Trifolium resupinatum) is a beautiful and beneficial annual legume that fills your garden with pale pink blossoms and an enchanting honey scent. The ‘Gorby’ variety is known for its rapid growth and high biomass, making it an indispensable aid for any gardener wishing to improve soil health in a natural way.
Why choose Persian clover?
-
Exceptional honey plant: During flowering, the plant spreads a strong and sweet aroma that attracts a large number of bees and pollinators. Its honey productivity is estimated at 150–200 kg/ha, making it a favorite among beekeepers.
-
Natural fertilizer (Green manure): As a legume, Persian clover has the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen. Thanks to root nodules, nitrogen is stored in the soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.
-
Soil conditioner and weed suppressant: The plant’s strong roots loosen the soil deeply, improving its structure and aeration. The dense growth surface provides strong competition for weeds, suppressing them without the use of chemicals.
Usage and sowing: This 300 g package is extremely economical, sufficient for sowing an area of approximately 300 m² (seeding rate: 1 kg/1000 m²).
The plant is perfectly suited as a cover crop after harvesting early vegetables (e.g., potatoes, lettuce). By leaving the clover on the bed over winter or digging it in, it acts as a valuable green manure in the spring, having enriched the soil with humus.
