Guest Buckfever1613 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I was looking to plant the Imperial Whitetail clover this spring in GA and had a few questions. It says i should have planted much earlier, but i have irrigation to this plot and would be able to water as much as it needed. SO would this be ok to plant. Also, if i do plant it should i mix in something to help it get off to a good start. THanks for any help and here is a link to their site http://www.whitetailinstitute.com/products/clover/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I would not. I will never plant clovers here in the spring or summer. Best time to plant them is the fall. Less invasive grwoth, and more moisture. If you do plant, you need to know what your soil needs; how much lime to get the ph preferable for what you are planting, and how much of what fertilizer you need.

LETMGROW Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'd go ahead and plant it. Follow the planting instructions they have on their website.

dogdoc Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 i'm not a big fan of planting perennials in the spring but if you have irrigation then you could probably get away with it and have success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we also get a lot of cold and snow in the fall and nothing would grow here until spring anyways. Good luck and keep us informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Being that you are in Georgia, like I initially posted here, I would hold out until the fall. It gets pretty hot down there, the short time I lived in Georgia was partially over the summer, I remember it to be pretty hot and dry. Might be different up north, where the climate is not so hot and dry in the summer. SOme clovers are pretty drought tolerant, but even still, I think planting in the spring is asking for potential problems in the south.

BuckNrut Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I continue to have great success with a spring planting, but as others have mentioned, a water source is essential to ensure success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
