Summary

Description Introduced, cool-season, semi-erect, annual legume. Stems are thick and hollow. Juvenile trifoliate leaves are club shaped while mature leaves are arrow shaped with white or reddish arrow-shaped marks. Flowerheads are large (up to 10 cm long) conical clusters of many pea-like flowers, each initially white then turning pink. Flowering is from late spring to early summer. A native of Europe and western Asia, it is a sown species that is suited to well drained soils of moderate to high fertility. It has poor tolerance of waterlogging during establishment. Sown in mixtures for short-term pastures or as a component of high-density legume crops. An alternative to crimson clover and red clover, it is a productive, late maturing forage that produces large quantities of dry matter in spring. Considered a bloat safe legume. Good spring rainfall or irrigation is required to reach its potential yield. Extremely deep roots result in continued growth longer than most annual legumes. Well suited to silage and hay production. Rest from grazing once flowering commences to maximise seed-set. However, high levels of hard seed often result in poor regeneration in the second year. Graze heavily once seed is mature, as zero residues in autumn maximises regeneration.
