If you want a fast-growing, highly attractive food plot that will attract deer and turkeys all spring and fall, CRUSH® Clover Plus Chicory is what you need. The lush forage chicory grows well in any type of soil condition, and paired with 7 varieties of clover, this blend can withstand heavy browse pressure. These varieties have the perfect mixture of attraction and longevity. If you properly maintain the plot to keep out weed species, you can expect at least 3-5 years out of a single planting of Clover Plus Chicory. This blend has 7 different clovers and 1 chicory that were tested and hand-picked by Lee Lakosky to be the most effective clover chicory blend you can buy.
Great for logging roads, openings in the timber, or other areas with minimal sunlight. Clover Plus Chicory will stay green after a frost and is a great source of protein for bucks growing antlers and lactating does. With adequate moisture, this blend can be hunt-ready within 3 weeks of planting.
For best results, plant 6-8 weeks before the average first frost in the fall. For spring planting, you can frost seed or plant any time after the threat of frost. Here is a handy frost calculator to know when to plant: https://www.almanac.com/gardening/frostdates
