Vitalize Annual Clover Mix is your go-to solution for fast, forage-rich ground cover that builds soil health and attracts wildlife. This carefully balanced blend of five high-performing annual clovers—Crimson, Berseem, Persian, Arrowleaf, and Balansa—establishes quickly, fixes nitrogen, and delivers protein-packed forage from early spring through late fall. Whether you’re planting new ground, filling gaps, or transitioning between food plot systems, this mix suppresses weeds, improves organic matter, and supports pollinators across the growing season.

Perfect for spring or late-summer planting, the Annual Clover Mix shines in frost seeding, overseeding, or as a standalone soil-builder. It thrives in a wide range of conditions and plays well with both Nitro-Boost and Carbon Load for those following the Vitalize One-Two System. If you're looking to maximize forage fast while prepping your soil for long-term success, this all-annual blend delivers quick results with biological benefits that last.

Fast-Growing, High-Attraction Clover for Quick Forage & Soil Boosting

The Annual Clover Mix is designed to establish rapidly, outcompete weeds, and fix nitrogen—all while drawing in deer and supporting soil biology through warm and cool seasons.

Why Choose This Annual Clover Mix?

⚡ Rapid establishment = faster forage and weed suppression
🦌 Highly attractive to deer during spring, summer, and fall
🌱 Fixes nitrogen and builds organic matter for future crops
🐝 Pollinator-friendly blooms extend across the growing season
🔁 Versatile for use alone, as an overseed, or in transition systems

What’s in the Bag (Species Breakdown)

Crimson Clover – Early-blooming annual that provides lush forage and supports pollinators. Excellent for spring and fall attraction.
Frosty Berseem Clover – Cold-tolerant, nitrogen-fixing, and fast-establishing; ideal for spring green-up and early forage.
Enhance Persian Clover – Fast-growing and highly palatable, offering premium forage and ground cover.
Arrowleaf Clover – Later-maturing, heat-tolerant clover that extends forage availability and provides biomass well into summer.
Fixation Balansa Clover – Extremely cold-hardy and vigorous with strong regrowth, excellent forage quality, and powerful nitrogen fixation.

Why This Blend Works

This all-annual lineup is a science-backed powerhouse for:

🌾 Quick soil coverage to suppress weeds and prevent erosion
🧪 Nitrogen-fixation from 5 clover species to support your fall plot or next crop
🌼 Continuous bloom timing = long window of pollinator support
