Planting crimson clover is a great way to enrich soil and feed neighbouring plants. But the crimson flowers are pretty too and quite tasty in salads. Plant it in lawns to save on fertilizer or use it as a companion or green manure in your vegetable or flower garden. You can also try it as a ground cover all on its own since the flowers are pretty enough to warrant use as an ornamental. Bees love it, so it's a great way of attracting pollinators into your garden.
