too late for crimson clover in zone 6?

Hey Permies!
I'd love to get some crimson clover going in a 20' by 20' bed. My primary interest is the blooms, rather than nitrogen fixation. Most of what I've read talks about planting in the late fall for over wintering in the southern states, is it too late to plant crimson clover in late winter/early spring and have some blooming by May or June?

Thanks!

You can try it. If the seeds don't germinate, they will when the weather warms up.

You'll get germination with these warm days but it will die off when the temps drop. Frost sow it around the end of Feb and you'll be up and sprouting by the end of March.

Thanks so much guys! I'll give it a try around the end of Feb, and maybe do another small batch a couple weeks later if the first gets zapped by one of our late frosts. Thanks!

start early spring..they can't handle the kinda cold you're talkin..
check this..

I am in zone 5 and I have heard of people just throwing white clover seeds down on the snow in the early spring and still having success.

That'll work, it works even better if you can get the seed down right before a snow
