Vitalize Clover/Chicory + Oats is a powerhouse perennial blend designed to attract deer, boost forage quality, and build soil resilience season after season. Featuring a mix of high-protein clovers, mineral-rich chicory, and fast-establishing black oats, this blend delivers immediate attraction in the spring and fall, while setting the stage for long-term plot success. The oats provide quick ground cover and weed suppression, allowing the clovers and chicory to establish strong, healthy root systems for persistent, year-round growth.
Ideal for logging roads, orchards, small plots, and pollinator strips, this mix supports lactating does, growing fawns, and hard-antlered bucks—all while enriching your soil through nitrogen fixation and deep nutrient cycling. Whether you're planting in spring or fall, this blend performs in tough conditions and adapts well to broadcast or drilled applications. Pair it with the Vitalize 1-2 Clover System for unmatched attraction, soil health, and plot longevity.

Why This Blend Works
This blend leverages the strength of annual clovers like Crimson and Berseem to establish quickly, fix nitrogen aggressively, and provide weed suppression while perennial species develop. Annuals create a dense ground canopy that shades out competition and supports healthier long-term plot success.This mix creates a dense, attractive, and durable perennial plot with:
✅ Immediate cover and attraction from oats
✅ Persistent protein and nitrogen-fixation from multi-species clovers
✅ Drought-resistant, mineral-rich deep taproots from chicory
Designed to work in spring or fall planting windows, it establishes quickly, feeds deer all year, and recycles nutrients for long-term soil productivity.
