Trifolium
Redkin
Redkin is an erect, early flowering, multi-cut (2N) red clover with improved resistance to Northern and Southern Anthracnose, Downy Mildew and Black Patch. Redkin has been tested extensively across North America and has proven to be persistent in real life applications. Data confirms that stand density tends to gets stronger into second year (different than other 3 year multi-cut clovers).
