Pat, Crimson clover dies in the heat. We use it here all the time. The stems
and leaves degrade quickly too. Probably too quickly... it doesn't make a
long lasting mulch at all. I don't know how it would do in a more northern
climate but I'm willing to bet it dies back in the heat where you live.

The bees like crimson clover too.
