General Information: Mumm’s Organic Crimson Clover is a high-germination, certified organic seed ideal for sprouting, microgreens, and garden cover crops. As a sprout, it produces mild, slightly sweet shoots that grow quickly with twice-daily rinsing. As a cover crop, it enriches soil with nitrogen, improves structure, and provides early-season forage for pollinators if allowed to bloom. Keep sprouts well-drained, and avoid overly warm, humid conditions for best results.
