Description

Dalkeith belongs to the Trifolium subterraneum ssp. Subterraneum family
and demonstrates a prostrate to semi-erect growth habit. It persists
well on various soil types and has early maturity, requiring a minimum
growing season of four months. It has a high hard seed level, which in
combination with its early maturity, makes it well suited to low rainfall
cropping rotations. Dalkeith is a superior replacement to Daliak and has
taken upwell in the 350 to 600mm rainfall zones. It is susceptible to a
range of diseases, however, most of these occur in higher rainfall
environments.

Dalkeith can also be used in a mixture (such as annual rye) as an excellent pasture clover. Dalkeith clover has an excellent reseed rate (45%) and will reseed better if grazed (after establishment). This makes for a clover crop that has a strong seed reserve built up in the soil and thus should produce for many years.

  • Dalkeith has a semi erect growth pattern.
  • Persists well in various soil types. Soil Ph of 5.0-7.0 light to heavy soils that are moderately well drained

5 of 5 Clover August 6, 2022
Reviewer: A B from Panama City, FL United States  
3rd year in a row using this clover for food plots.  Comes up good and thick in the spring. Combined with clover and some sort of grain, it provides a year long food source.

Reviewer: Janet from Fancy Gap, VA United States  
I’m using subterranean clover around my sweet potatoes. It’s very helpful at keeping the weeds down. I’ll be using it in other areas of the garden in the future.
