Birdsfoot Trefoil

Birdsfoot Trefoil Seed (Coated with OMRI-Listed Apex Green™)
Persistent, Low-Maintenance Forage for Tough Soils

Birdsfoot Trefoil is a hardy, deep-rooted perennial legume that thrives where others fail—especially in acidic, poorly drained, or low-fertility soils. This variety is coated with Apex Green™, an OMRI-listed, organic-compliant coating designed to improve moisture retention, boost early growth, and support strong establishment.

Ideal for long-lasting food plots, grazing systems, or soil improvement projects where clover and alfalfa may struggle.
