Alsike Clover Seeds for Honeybees and Pollinators

Alsike clover is one of the best plants for honeybees. It flowers off and on from May until the first frost in October in Minnesota depending on how much moisture we have, unlike most nectar sources that bloom during only a short seasonal window.

In Minnesota, 57 native species of bees feed on the nectar and pollen of this clover. The fragrant white flowers with pink tinged blooms provide important nectar and pollen sources during times when native flowers may be in short supply.

Unlike other clovers, Alsike Clover thrives in wet areas and is also very winter hardy, making it a useful option for pollinator habitat plantings throughout Minnesota.

Support Pollinators With Alsike Clover

Alsike Clover is valued for its long bloom period, winter hardiness, and ability to grow well in wetter soil conditions where some other clover varieties may struggle. Because it blooms throughout much of the growing season, it can provide a reliable nectar and pollen source for honeybees and native pollinators.

The fragrant white and pink flowers attract a wide range of pollinators while helping provide forage during periods when native flowering plants may be limited.

All sales from seed purchases go toward our Land For Bees initiative to help replant land for pollinators and support future habitat restoration efforts. You can read more about Land For Bees here.
