Description

Red clover microgreens are cut at around 8 to 12 days, when the fine stems are still upright and the leaflets fully green. The flavor is notably mild and clean - closer to alfalfa or fresh peas than to anything peppery - which makes them the go-to for people who find brassica microgreens too sharp. Their fine texture means they wilt fast under heat, so add them at the very end. Sold fresh through local Alabama delivery, farm pickup, and our farmers-market stand.

Specifications
  • Grown in: Lineville, Alabama (no synthetic pesticides)
  • Freshness: Harvested at peak and sold fresh
  • Availability: Seasonal - local Alabama delivery & pickup
  • Storage: Refrigerate and enjoy fresh
  • Why it's good: Nutrient-dense and picked at peak freshness
Care Instructions
  • Storage: Sealed clamshell in the coldest part of the fridge, 34-40°F
  • Shelf life: 4 to 6 days
  • Washing: Rinse just before use and spin dry well. Clover is fine-stemmed and holds water, and wet clover mats and sours quickly.
  • Using: A volume green rather than a flavour one. Good piled into sandwiches and wraps, or used to bulk out a salad without changing how it tastes.
Growing Zone

No hardiness zone on this one — it's harvested and sold to eat, not to plant. If you're after the plant itself rather than the crop, check our starters and herb plants.

Questions & Answers

How is it different from alfalfa?
Very similar in use and only slightly different in taste - clover is a touch greener and cleaner, alfalfa a touch sweeter. Both are fine-stemmed legume micros in the same handling class.

What does it taste like?
Mild and clean, closer to raw peas than to anything peppery or bitter. It is the green to use when you want texture without introducing a flavour.

Why is the shelf life shorter than radish or kale?
Fine stems and high water content, with no thick tissue to slow moisture loss. That is the trade-off across every legume micro on this list.

Is it local?
Yes - grown and cut in Lineville, Alabama, sold through local Alabama delivery, farm pickup and farmers markets.

Shipping & Returns

Alabama only. This one is picked fresh and never leaves the state.

Where it goes

Local delivery and farm pickup within Alabama. We don't ship produce, microgreens, cut herbs or edible flowers out of state — they're picked at peak and wouldn't survive the trip.

What it costs

$9.95 local delivery, free over $75.

Pickup

Free at the farm in Lineville, or find us at the Clay County and Acworth farmers markets.

When

Cut to order. We'll reach out to set a delivery or pickup time, usually within a day or two of your order.

Refrigerate on arrival. Fresh items are best within a few days.

Why we only ship Mondays and Tuesdays

A plant in a dark box is on a clock. Shipping early in the week means it reaches you before the weekend instead of sitting in a warehouse from Friday to Monday. It costs us a day or two of lead time and saves a lot of plants.

Practically: an order placed Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or over the weekend goes out the following Monday. We'd rather tell you that now than let you find it in a tracking number.

How long it takes once it leaves

Typical ground transit from Lineville, Alabama after the ship day. Estimates, not guarantees — weather and carrier backlogs happen.

  • 1–2 days Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky
  • 2–3 days The rest of the Southeast and Midwest, Texas, the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast
  • 3–5 days The Plains, the Mountain West and the West Coast

Tracking is emailed the moment your box is scanned.

If something arrives unhappy

A little leaf drop or travel stress is normal and usually sorts itself out within a week or two of settling in. If a plant arrives genuinely damaged, email support@wadegreens.com within 48 hours of delivery with a photo of the plant and the box, and we'll make it right.

Plant Traits

The facts that decide whether it takes root, in the order that matters.

Sunlight

Full Sun (6+ hrs)

Six or more hours of direct sun. With less it stretches toward the light and flowering thins out.

Water

High

Keep the soil consistently damp. It wilts fast and does not always come back from a hard dry-out.

Mature Size

Under 1 ft

Where it settles once established. Plan the spacing for this, not for the size it arrives at.

Foliage

Herbaceous

Soft-stemmed. It dies back to the ground and returns from the roots — the top going brown is the plan, not a failure.

Traits

  • EdibleSome part of it is grown to be eaten. We grow without pesticides, so it needs nothing more than a rinse.
  • Fast GrowingFills its space in a season or two. Fast growth is soft growth, so expect a shorter life and more give in a storm.
