Pollinator Cover Crop Seed Mix

Pollinator Cover Crop Seed Mix — A Hardworking Legume Blend That Nourishes Pollinators and Rebuilds Your Soil

This varied mix of easy-to-grow legumes — clover, alfalfa, vetch, and sainfoin — is designed to attract and nourish pollinators while doing serious work for your soil. Small white, pink, purple, and gold flowers bloom from early spring through late summer, drawing bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Meanwhile, the hardworking legumes suppress weeds, fix nitrogen into the soil, improve soil structure, and prevent erosion. Grows 12–72 inches tall if left untrimmed. An excellent choice for groundcover, cover crops, lawn replacement, or adding to a wildflower meadow. Non-GMO and made in the USA.

What’s in the Mix

How to Use as a Cover Crop

Plant in early to mid-fall and let grow until frost. Come spring, mow before it goes to seed, then till the soil to incorporate organic matter. Wait 3–6 weeks before planting new crops to allow decomposition.

⚠️ Note: Hairy vetch, one of the varieties in this mix, is not recommended as pasture for grazing animals.
