Adapted to the same general area as red clover. Alsike clover makes a very palatable, high-quality hay when planted with other clovers and grasses, especially timothy. Alsike produces high quality pasture and hay. It prefers a heavy, moist soil and will do better than other clovers on poorly drained acid soils. Alsike clover does not do well in light, sandy soils.
