Scientific Name: Trifolium hirtum
Hykon rose clover is an herbaceous, self-regenerating winter annual legume that originated in the Mediterranean region. It has a semi-erect growth habit similar to crimson clover, with a somewhat later growth period in mid-spring. It has two main uses, as a pasture species often combined with sub clover and medics, and for erosion control in degraded areas associated with mining or road building. Also used as a vineyard cover crop.
