Balansa Clover
| Crop Type | Seeds/Lb | Minimum Germination Temperature |

Balansa clover is like crimson clover but has increased cold tolerance and biomass production. It is extremely palatable, has good digestibility and high crude protein content (20%). Due to it’s low stature and ground-hugging nature, Balansa clover has been recorded surviving multiple days of sub-zero temperatures with snow cover. When Balansa is in it’s early rosette stage, above ground growth is limited because it is concentrating it’s energy on producing a taproot.
