It requires close management to mature a crop while not damaging the grass sod. Cut or graze excess growth of grass in September to allow clover to germinate. Ball clover is a dense growing clover that may suppress the growth of desirable perennial plants if not sufficiently grazed or clipped in mid to early spring. It grows erect to a height of 2 feet or more. Stems are hollow.
Flowers are white, and form small heads.
Produces a high quality forage. Performs best on loam soils of central and South Mississippi. Well suited for the Black Belt area. Inoculate seed prior to planting. Boron will be needed for sustainable production.
