| Notes: |
|
- Very low bloat potential; late maturity.
- Can be mixed with small grain to extend grazing season.
- Large percentage of hard seed (good reseeder). Planting 4-5 lb/Ac of scarified seed the first reseeding year will secure enough seed for a good stand.
- Inoculate with Rhizobia bacteria specific to arrowleaf clover (Type O).
