White clover (Trifolium repens) is one of the most valuable and versatile plants you can add to your pasture, lawn, or food plot. This low-growing perennial legume is prized worldwide for its ability to naturally enrich soil through nitrogen fixation, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizer and boosting the growth of surrounding grasses. White clover forms a dense, spreading mat of foliage that can reach up to 12 inches in height, making it an ideal ground cover for erosion control, weed suppression, and improving soil health over time.

Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) is a fast-growing warm-season annual cover crop known for weed suppression, soil improvement, and pollinator-friendly flowers. It thrives in light, well-drained, low-fertility soils but is sensitive to frost and intolerant of drought. Buckwheat’s dense canopy conserves moisture and prevents erosion, making it ideal for double cropping or use as green manure. Often included in pasture seed mixes to benefit the soil, buckwheat is a good source of fiber, lysine, and protein for livestock.

Bahia grass is a great choice for low-maintenance, sandy areas in the southern United States. While it doesn’t produce the softest turf, it will make an acceptable lawn requiring minimal irrigation and fertilizer. Bahia grass has very few problems with insects or diseases and is ideal for use in erosion control along roadsides and utility areas.

Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) is a warm-season perennial forage grass prized for rugged resilience and summer grazing value. It thrives in hot, dry conditions with minimal water and regrows quickly after heavy grazing. Ideal for cattle, sheep and goat pasture, it delivers lush summer forage, superior erosion control, and adapts well across warm U.S. regions (Southeast, Plains, Southwest).

Native warm-season Panicum virgatum (switchgrass) thrives in USDA Zones 3–9 (Great Plains to Southeast US). An exceptionally hardy, low-maintenance grass, it tolerates drought and poor soils while delivering high forage yields and dense cover. Use switchgrass for pasture forage, erosion control, prairie restoration, or ornamental clumps.

Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis) is a resilient, cool-season perennial grass forming dense, dark green sod. Ideal for U.S. lawns, pastures, and erosion control, it offers high forage value for grazing animals and supports wildlife. Known for excellent cold tolerance and drought survival through dormancy, it thrives in humid, moderate climates across the Midwest, Northeast, and Intermountain West. A versatile choice for beautiful, functional landscapes.
