Red Clover Rozeta (Trifolium pratense) is a medium-early forage clover valued for dense growth, melliferous character and high green mass yield. It is practical for hay, silage, green fodder and grass-clover mixtures on meadows and grassland. Its feed value, regrowth and pollinator value suit productive and biodiversity-friendly sowings.

Sowing

Sow Red Clover Rozeta in pure stands or forage mixtures with grasses. For even establishment, use a well-prepared, firm seedbed with low weed pressure. The seed is small, so distribute it evenly and cover it lightly. It works well in meadow mixtures, cutting leys and grassland blends.

Sowing depth

Sow 1-2 cm deep. Shallow placement supports quick and uniform emergence, especially on heavier soils. Seeds placed too deeply may emerge unevenly. A fine, level seedbed helps achieve good stand density.

Best sowing time

Sow from late February to April or from June to early September. Spring sowing suits early establishment for seasonal forage use. Summer sowing can be suitable after an earlier crop or when renewing meadow and forage areas.

Seeding rate

In pure sowing, the usual rate is about 8-12 kg/ha. The final rate depends on whether the crop is intended for green fodder, hay, silage or mixtures. In mixed sowings, adjust the amount to the clover share and companion grasses.

Site and soil

This red clover performs best in fertile, moderately moist soils with good structure and adequate nutrients. It suits meadows, cutting fields and forage areas. Avoid very light, drought-prone sites and waterlogged ground. A suitable pH supports root development.

Cultivation and care

Good cultivation starts with careful seedbed preparation and timely sowing into moisture-retentive soil. During establishment, protect young plants from strong weeds. Regular, well-timed cutting supports dense regrowth and stand quality. Red Clover Rozeta is typically used for 2-3 years.

Height

Plants reach up to about 70 cm, depending on soil, moisture and management. This habit supports biomass production and suits mowing, haymaking and silage production.

Uses

Red Clover Rozeta is grown for green fodder, hay, haylage and silage. It is a proven choice for mowing meadows, forage fields and mixed grassland where high green mass yield and feed quality are important. Its flowers support bees and other pollinators.

Resistance and regrowth

This variety combines high resistance, good winter hardiness and solid field performance. Dense growth supports productive use. Strong regrowth after cutting helps maintain forage supply under suitable conditions.

What is worth knowing?

Rozeta is a red clover variety, not white clover or microclover. It should be selected for forage and meadow use rather than lawn applications. Its dense habit, medium-early development and high green mass potential suit cutting systems.
