Ummm.......
at tractor supply you can get a 5 pound bag of red and white clover seeds for 20 dollars. not to bad of a price.
As a 4 leaf clover collector, since ive learned that the higher concentration of flowers in a patch means a more likely chance of 4 leaf clover, id be addicted in that field
The material you collected has no viable seed in it. It was all flowers. If you wish to do this, wait until the seedheads have been brown (dead looking) for at least a couple of weeks. Scout the fields out ahead of time, so you know where to go collect. Better yet, go to your local feed/seed store and purchase clover seed of adapted species and cultivars for your area. For some you can purchase just a pound or two. Make sure it has been preinoculated with proper rhizobial bacteria so that you get proper nitrogen fixation. And take soil tests to see if any nutrients are in short supply and if your pH needs adjusting. You can't get established just by collecting clover flowers.
so lemme get this straight... you dug up (stole?) a bunch of flowering clover (that probably doesnt have seeds, only nectar and pollen), literally just threw them into your yard, and expect them to not only survive but reproduce? sorry for the tone, theres just a few things happenning here. generally, if you dig up a plant that is close to flowering/is flowering then it will die because of the amount of energy that takes. plants also dont tend to do well if you dont give them enough dirt to keep their roots cool, wet, and dark, especially if you toss them right out in the open with no shade. plants only make seeds after the flowers die away, and the only other way to get these to spread would be to have enough of the root in the ground and for it to be healthy enough to grow. pollinators will not like these once theyre cut, especially because theyre on the soggy soil where plant material goes specifically in order to rot. im sorry, but you fucked up in like, every way dude. buy a pound of seeds for $8, spread them the week before halloween, and youll actually get a better bang for your buck the following spring when you factor in that for $8 you have (substantially) more clover, spent less time digging (your time is at least worth minimum wage, dont you think?) and maybe less gas, but idk ur life. I wish you better luck in the future, may you not make the same mistake more than once
My guess is that those haven't gone to seeds yet... you have to wait for them to stop blooming..
that's not crimson clover it's red clover (should be pink clover imo). crimson is Italian clover it's dark red and it's in America but they are commonly mistaken both ways.
But do you have another video showing how you planted it? Did you plan it roots and all? Or from the tips of the flowers the seeds?
I think you would have been better of taking a clump of clovers with roots and all and planted in your field. That’s how I got purple clovers in my field (not crimson). Do you have a fallow up video.
Well did it work? The suspense is killing me
I too just discovered that white clover is a local native plant. I hope to optimize my backyard so that it's swarming with bees, pollinating insects and other wildlife.
I guess I have to ask but did this work out for you and did the clover grow for you?
Dollars to donuts the dude comes back next year and he will discover he has grown diddly. He needed to spread seed not just toss out the flowering tops.
Bees can't get nectar from red clover-- their tongues are too short.
I doubt the seed would develop it enough to germinate, you can do it like this but the seed has to be at least hard
no pics , didn't happen
Ok cool thanks it would be really cool if u made a video of the results
My feed store sells it for $3 a pound. A little goes a long way!
Better to transplant the young plants early season, than to collect seed before maturation.
What a botanist . LMAO !
